Abstract

In recent times, ChatGPT has become a globally renowned AI tool, revolutionizing academic research by offering innovative methods and opportunities. The integration of AI into various domains is a prevailing topic, focusing on optimizing its utility. This article presents a case study of a child with Rathke's cyst, primarily exhibiting symptoms of growth and developmental delay. The patient's self-perception of stunted growth, coupled with previous assessments indicating partial growth hormone deficiency, prompted further investigation. Laboratory assessments revealed low growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor levels, while imaging disclosed a pituitary lesion. Rathke's cyst was postulated as the probable cause of the growth hormone deficiency. Rathke's cyst remains a rare medical condition with substantial research knowledge gaps. In this article, we synergize ChatGPT responses with a comprehensive case report of a child with Rathke's cyst as the primary symptom-growth and developmental delay. We explore the methods and feasibility of employing ChatGPT within this case report.
