Rathke cleft cysts are common cystic pituitary lesions seen on MR imaging. A subset of Rathke cleft cysts can rupture within the sella and are uncommon. The imaging appearance of a ruptured Rathke cleft cyst has been previously described with nonspecific imaging findings. We present 7 cases of ruptured Rathke cleft cysts and basisphenoid bone marrow enhancement below the sella that could be used to potentially distinguish a ruptured Rathke cleft cyst from other cystic lesions.
