Rathke pouch cyst

There are two main pencil drawings, a ventral view and a sagittal view of the pituitary region, with a number of smaller sketches around the outside to show specific details. Annotations on the back read "56.10.09.11 Mr Jefferson MRI patient's name Rathke's pouch 2.8.38". There is also a quite extensive patient history and description of symptoms written on the back.

The patient's name is also written in the top right corner and numerous labels accompany the sketches.

This drawing relates to a patient of Geoffrey Jefferson whose patient notes are also held by UoM Library. Unfortunately the notes relating to this particular individual do not survive and instead there is a note to indicate that they were borrowed by Jefferson in the 1940s, see JCN/13/160.

Rough sketches created in the process of making this drawing can be found in the collection of Davison's working sketches, see DDS/3/14.
