Rathke's cleft cyst

Head & Neck

A Rathke's cleft cyst is a noncancerous fluid-filled cyst that develops in the pituitary region from remnants of embryonic tissue. Most are found unexpectedly and cause no symptoms. An MRI may show a fluid-filled structure in the pituitary region consistent with a Rathke's cleft cyst. Finding a Rathke's cleft cyst allows for monitoring to ensure it remains stable and does not affect pituitary function.

SCReening explained
It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
