  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A case of pituitary cyst lined by a single layer of ciliated columnar epithelium with marked psychic symptoms is reported. The symptoms was characterized by failure of vision, anorexia, repeated hypoglycemic coma, mentally by disturbance of memory, disorientation, phantastic confabulation (namely, Korsakow's syndrome) and inclining to drowsiness.

The cyst was a dumbbell-shaped tumor with both intrasellar and suprasellar parts, the constriction being at the diaphragma sellae and compressed the optic chiasma, the hypophysis and slightly the hypothalamus anteriorly. Microscopically, remarkable lesions were not found in the brain, especially in the hypothalamus.

It is very rare that a cyst of hypophyseal origin attains sufficient size to produce clinical symptoms as our case.
