垂体窝囊肿在病理解剖中较常见到,Skanklin通过尸检连续观察100例垂体腺,发现13例垂体窝囊肿,年龄从出生至86岁不等。MeGrath报告的发病率更高,在83例垂体窝中发现囊肿达33％。但在临床报告中则较少,其原因是由于它与无分泌性垂体腺瘤以及颅咽管瘤的诊断很难区别,它们之间的症状、体征和放射学特征很相似,由于临床上垂体腺瘤和颅咽管瘤比垂体窝囊肿更常见,因此,术前本病常被误诊。 Pituitary cysts are more common in pathological anatomy. Skanklin continuously observed 100 cases of pituitary glands through autopsy and found 13 cases of pituitary cysts ranging in age from birth to 86 years of age. MeGrath reported a higher incidence of cysts in 33 of the pituitary fossa (33%). However, in clinical reports, the reason for this is that it is difficult to distinguish it from the diagnosis of non-secreting pituitary adenomas and craniopharyngiomas. The symptoms, signs, and radiological characteristics are similar between them because of clinical pituitary Adenomas and craniopharyngiomas are more common than pituitary cysts. Therefore, the disease is often misdiagnosed before surgery.
