Abstract
Rathke's cleft cysts are benign, usually asymptomatic cystic epithelial congenital lesions. The symptomatic forms are exceptional with endocrine manifestations due to hypophyseal compression by the cyst. We present two cases of Rathke's cleft cyst revealed by panhypopituitarism. The prognosis for the final height and fertility of these patients remains the major concern. The early management of these cystic lesions of benign appearance remains crucial.
