Sellar and Parasellar Cystic Lesions
Ankara Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi, Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı, Ankara, Türkiye
Sellar and parasellar cysts are rare lesions and are mostly seen in the pediatric and adolescent age groups. Rathke’s cleft cysts, arachnoid cysts
and epidermoid and dermoid cysts are the more common examples of these lesions. Empty sella can be an anatomical variation or develop
later on and is evaluated under the same subject. Treatment approaches to sellar and parasellar cystic lesions depend on the symptoms and
the anatomopathological structure of the lesion.
