Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Empty Sella Phenomena

Abstract: Of 500 consecutive unselected patients who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 20 (12 females, 8 males;mean age, 41 yr) were found to have empty sella. The clinical and imaging findings were compared to those in 20 normal adult control subjects, and 20 patients of comparable age and sex from the group of 500 consecutive patients. Variations in the pituitary infundibulum, the optic chiasm, and the sellar floor did not correlate to symptoms. Little difference in clinical symptomatology between pati… Show more

“…Congenital anomalies in incomplete formation of the diaphragm of ST are being discussed as a possible mechanism [4]. Secondary ES (SES) may be caused by pituitary adenomas undergoing spontaneous necrosis (ischemia or hemorrhage), radiotherapy, drugs, previous surgery, infective, autoimmune, and traumatic causes [5,6].…”

“…Partially empty sella is when the sella turcica is only partially filled with CSF and some of the pituitary gland is visible. In the general population, the proportion of empty sella has been reported to range from 0.88% to 28% (4–10). When focusing on recent studies with higher sample sizes, however, the prevalence ranges from 0.88% to 2.92% (4–6).…”
