Extractions: empty sella syndrome In this condition, the subarachnoid space is extended into the sella tursica through a partial defect in the diaphragma sellae. An enlarged sella is seen on skull x-ray, and a low density CSF filled cavity occupying most the sella is seen on CT. The remaining space contains pituitary gland, tumour or both. The condition is thought to arise from a change in CSF circulation with subsequent cisternal herniation. There is progressive compression of the pituitary parenchyma and reduction in portal vessel perfusion. It is usually found in obese, often hypertensive, females. Presenting symptoms tend to non-specific - frequent headache and transient visual problems. Endocrine disturbance is unusual but when present, includes amenorrhoea in one - third of cases, usually due to hypogonadotropism. However, many patients enjoy normal pituitary function. There is a risk that aneurysms may develop within the dilated sella which should be examined for by angiography. Pituitary replacement therapy is required. Occasionally, it may be necessary to decompress the chiasm surgically.

Extractions: Back Back to main Health Information page 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.
Extractions: Varanasi Introduction Top Empty sella refers to the radiological appearance of an enlarged or deformed sella turcica that is partially or completely filled with cerebrospinal fluid. In the earlier days, the radiographic appearance of an enlarged sella turcica was frequently equated with the presence of an intra or perisellar neoplasm. It was found, however, in some of these patients on pneumoencephalography, that the enlarged sella was not occupied by a tumour mass, but a significant amount of air was reaching the sella indicating that the subarachnoid space was extending well below the clinoid processes. To describe this finding, several different terms were used such as intrasellar arachnoid diverticulum, intrasellar cysts, deficient sellar diaphragm, intrasellar cistern . Busch , while reporting the presence of empty sella in 5 percent of normal subjects on autopsy studies, used the term "empty sella" to describe this condition. However, the term empty sella in fact, is a misnomer as the sella is not completely empty, but the pituitary is always present both anatomically and functionally, though often it is displaced downwards and compressed by CSF pressure. An empty sella thus is usually an incidental anatomic finding and occasionally it results in abnormal pituitary function. Regardless of the size, the sella is completely or partially filled with CSF. It can occur at any age and in either sex. However, it is more common in women and increases in frequency with age

Extractions: The primary from of Empty Sella Syndrome is a rare inherited disorder of the brain that is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. The disorder is characterized by an empty space filled with cerebrospinal fluid in the sella turcica area of the brain. The area fills with fluid as a result of a defect in the sella diaphragm. Symptoms and findings may include unusual facial features, a highly-arched palate, moderate short stature, increased bone density (osteosclerosis), and normal pituitary function. The secondary form of this disorder is caused by another underlying disorder or defect (e.g., surgery, radiation therapy, etc.). In the idiopathic form of the disease, the exact cause in not known. This form of the disorder affects mostly obese, middle-aged women. Find more information on the Internet with

Celal ÝPLÝKÇÝOÐLU , Þirzat BEK , Cem Atilla GÖKDUMAN , Cem DÝNÇ , Murat ÇOÞAR Department of Neurosurgery, Social Security Education Hospital of Okmeydani, Istanbul, Turkey SUMMARY Empty Sella Syndrome is usually caused by intrasellar herniation of suprasellar subarachnoid space. Very rarely in hydrocephalic patients, intrasellar herniation of a part of third ventricle has been described as a variant of empty sella . In this report, we present a case of empty sella syndrome associated with intrasellar herniation of dilated infundibular recess. KEY WORDS: Empty Sella Syndrome, infundibular recess, third ventricle INTRODUCTION The term empty sella is an anatomical condition in which suprasellar subarachnoid space extends into the pituitary fossa . If this causes sellar enlargement, flattening of the pituitary gland against the sellar floor and neurological and endocrinological disorders such as visual disturbances

Extractions: 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. Primary ESS happens when a small anatomical defect above the pituitary gland increases pressure in the sella turica and causes the gland to flatten out along the interior walls of the sella turica cavity. Primary ESS is associated with obesity and high blood pressure in women. The disorder sometimes results in a build-up of fluid pressure inside the skull and the pituitary gland may be smaller than usual. Secondary ESS is the result of the pituitary gland regressing within the cavity after an injury, surgery, or radiation therapy. Individuals with secondary ESS due to destruction of the pituitary gland have symptoms that reflect the loss of pituitary functions, such as the ceasing of menstrual periods, infertility, fatigue, and intolerance to stress and infection. In children, ESS may be associated with early onset of puberty, growth hormone deficiency, pituitary tumors, or pituitary gland dysfunction. MRI scans are useful in evaluating ESS and differentiating it from other disorders that produce an enlarged sella.
