ABSTRACT
We done the mnemonic “CLEAR” to help remember the main differential diagnosis, which is the cystic lesions of the pituitary region, all of which displace the infundibulum to the sides of the fossa: 'C'ranyopharyngioma, 'L'arge (macro) adenoma, 'E'pidermoid cyst, 'A'rachnoid cyst, 'R'athke cleft cyst. These five cystic lesions are sometimes difficult to differentiate from a real empty sella, even though each of them has specific characteristics.
