I have just found out my daughter aged 31 has had a catscan, then mri with and without contrast resulting in the findings of a 3mm cyst in her pituitary gland. 10 years ago they found she had had bleeding in the brain from the pituitary gland. She is a lactating mother. I was searching for some knowledge and found Rathicke . Her symptoms have been a dull ache in the head, dizziness and she has almost passed out a few times. This concerns me as she is a nurse and works with newborns as lactation consultant. We are still waiting for the PCP to get back to her.
Hello, I will suggest you to look for some other causes of these symptoms as it's a very remote possibility for a very small pituitary cyst (a 3\u00a0mm cyst). Mild headache dizziness and feeling of passing out needs work up like checking her blood pressure, electrolyte (sodium potassium magnesium and calcium levels) and then correlating it to a primary disease of a Chat Doctor.  But this all needs a careful detailed history and physical examination. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
