Endocrine Abstracts previous abstract next abstract Abstract BENIGN INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION - RARE CAUSE OF EMPTY SELLA SYNDROME Further enquiry revealed past neurological events: he had presented in 1981 with an idiopathic sixth nerve palsy (CT scan, carotid angiography normal) and in 1991 with benign intracranial hypertension thought to be secondary to a sagittal sinus thrombosis: he was treated with dexamethasone but it proved necessary to insert a lumbar peritoneal shunt. An association between benign intracranial hypertension and the empty sella syndrome is rare but recognised. A causative mechanism has been proposed. We postulate that this was the causation in our patient. Endocrine Abstracts previous abstract next abstract

Empty sella syndrome Chapter: 21 The pituitary undergoes pressure atrophy , most often secondary to downward bulging of the CSF containing cistern at the suprasellar part of the brain, into the sella turcica. The pituitary may be completely flattened as a pancake at the bottom of the sella as a result. Clinical hypopituitarysm accompanies this. Adenoma s nevertheless may develop from such compressed, atrophic pituitary glands.

Health Encyclopedia Back to main Health Information page Disease - Empty sella syndrome The pituitary gland Definition: Empty sella syndrome is the absence of the pituitary gland on radiological imaging of the sella turcica, a bony structure that normally partly surrounds the gland. Causes And Risk: The pituitary gland is a small gland located at the base of the brain. It makes several hormones that control the function of other glands in the body, including the thyroid, the adrenal glands, and the ovaries or testes. The pituitary gland is partly surrounded by a bony structure called the sella turcica ("Turkish saddle"). When the pituitary gland is not visible on CT or MRI scans of the sella turcica, the condition is referred to as empty sella syndrome. Primary empty sella syndrome occurs when a small anatomical defect above the pituitary gland increases pressure in the sella turcica and causes the gland to flatten out along the walls of the sella. When the sella is empty because the pituitary gland has regressed following an injury such as head trauma or an event such as surgery or radiation therapy, the condition is called secondary empty sella syndrome. Primary empty sella syndrome is most often an incidental finding during radiological imaging of the brain . Pituitary function is usually normal, and patients do not have any symptoms. The hormone prolactin is mildly elevated in 10% to 15 % of patients, and the elevated prolactin may interfere with normal function of the testes or ovaries.

Endocrinology Home Page The Pituitary Gland Disorders of the Pituitary Gland Acromegaly ... Diabetes Insipidus Empty Sella Syndrome Pituitary Tumors Email Empty Sella Syndrome What is empty sella syndrome? Empty sella syndrome is common in women who are overweight or have high blood pressure. Characterized by an enlarged bony structure (sella turcica) that houses the pituitary gland at the base of the brain, the disorders sometimes results in high fluid pressure inside the skull. The pituitary gland is usually normal size or small. What are the symptoms of empty sella syndrome? Each individual may experience symptoms differently. Besides high fluid pressure in the skull, which occurs in about 10 percent of patients, another symptom is a chronically runny nose. How is empty sella syndrome diagnosed? In addition to a complete medical history and medical examination, diagnostic procedures for empty sella syndrome may include: x-ray of the skull computed tomography (CT or CAT scan) - a non-invasive procedure that takes cross-sectional images of the brain or other internal organs; to detect any abnormalities that may not show up on an ordinary x-ray magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) - a non-invasive procedure that produces two-dimensional views of an internal organ or structure, especially the brain or spinal cord

Empty Sella Syndrome (ESS) is a disorder that involves the sella turica , a bony structure at the base of the brain that surrounds and protects the pituitary gland. ESS is a condition that is often discovered during tests for pituitary disorders, when radiological imaging of the pituitary gland reveals a sella turica that appears to be empty. There are two types of ESS: primary and secondary.
