This article provides a systematic literature review of intracranial ectopic Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs), which are benign congenital lesions located in the sellar and suprasellar regions. The authors present a case of a symptomatic ectopic retrosellar RCC that caused extensive clival erosion. The study includes data on patient demographics, clinical presentation, and treatment details. Surgical approaches varied depending on the cyst's location, and gross total resection was achieved in the majority of cases. The article concludes that further research is needed to better understand the natural history and long-term outcomes of these cysts. [Extracted from the article]
