Rathke Cleft Cyst: A Rathke Cleft Cyst is a cyst that forms between the anterior and posterior pitutary gland. They are rare. Here are two websites about Rathke Cleft Cysts http://pituitary.ucla.edu/rathkes-cleft-cyst and https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/healthlibrary/conditions/adult/nervous_system_disorders/rathke_cleft_cysts_134,86 . Consider a HealthTap Prime consult with a neurosurgeon or neurologist.
