Spontaneous regression of Rathke’s cleft cysts with conservative management: patient series

A substantial proportion of RCC patients managed nonsurgically demonstrated spontaneous regression. There is a role for the conservative management of RCCs in patients without significant symptoms, and surveillance should continue for a minimum of 5 years to confirm cyst stability. For patients undergoing planned surgery, same-day or recent imaging is recommended to prevent operating on involuted RCCs. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24268.
