63. NewStandard: 5/18/98 What is empty sella syndrome? Emptysella syndrome features an enlarged sellaturcica with a shriveled pituitary gland squashed against the back of it. http://www.s-t.com/daily/05-98/05-18-98/zzzaddon.htm

NorthEast Classified Network Dr. Donohue Pituitary problem triggers syndrome Dear Dr. Donohue: Over a period of 13 years I have been in constant turmoil with my health. My family doctor sent me to a neurosurgeon after I had a brain scan. The neurosurgeon, a man of few words, said I had "empty sella turcica syndrome." He told me I would have to see an internist and I would have to be put on hormone therapy. And that was it. He was done. What is empty sella syndrome? S.M. Please forgive my editing your letter. Space demands trimming some details. Early anatomists were imaginative and conversant with Latin. They called a bony hollow in the skull, an inch or two behind the nose, the "sella turcica" Latin for "Turkish saddle." The pituitary gland, the master endocrine gland, sits on the sella. Empty-sella syndrome features an enlarged sella turcica with a shriveled pituitary gland squashed against the back of it. The "saddle" appears to be unoccupied. In primary empty-sella syndrome, astonishingly, pituitary-gland function remains normal. The gland sends hormonal messages to other endocrine glands thyroid, ovary and adrenal to keep them producing their hormones. In secondary empty-sella syndrome, the squashed pituitary gland malfunctions. Its hormone production wanes. Consequently, the thyroid stops producing thyroid hormone; the adrenals stop making their array of hormones; and the ovaries quit producing estrogen.

Acta Neurochirurgica ISSN: 0001-6268 (printed version) ISSN: 0942-0940 (electronic version) Table of Contents Abstract Volume 141 Issue 5 (1999) pp 487-494 Extradural Balloon Obliteration of the Empty Sella Report of Three Cases (Intrasellar Balloon Obliteration) Summary Empty sella syndrome is an anatomical and clinical entity composed of intrasellar reposition of the CSF and compression of the pituitary tissue, resulting in a clinical picture of headache, visual field defect, CSF rhinorrhea and some mild endocrinological disturbances. While some cases are primary with no appreciable aetiology, secondary cases are associated with prior operation or radiotherapy of the region. In our series, 3 patients with primary empty sella syndrome were treated by the current approach of extradural filling of the sellar cavity. This technique was first described by Guiot and widely accepted thereafter. We used a detachable silicon balloon filled with HEMA or liquid silicone for obliteration of the sellar cavity and obtained clinically satisfactory results without complications. Visual symptoms regressed and headache disappeared. But at long term follow-up all the balloons were found to be deflated. Despite the facility and efficacy of the technique we do not recommend it in the treatment of the empty sella because the filling of the sella is only transient and relapses may occur.

Neurosurg Focus 7 (2): Clinical Pearl 2, 1999 Empty sella syndrome: does it exist in children? Ahmed Ammar, M.B., Ch.B., D.M.Sc., Ali Al-Sultan, M.D., F.R.C.P.(C), Fatma Al Mulhim, M.B., Ch.B., and Abdulla Yousef Al Hassan, D.M.R.D. Departments of Neurosurgery, Internal Medicine, and Radiology, King Fahd University Hospital, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia The empty sella syndrome (ESS) is well documented in adults and although the same phenomenon of herniation of the arachnoid space into the enlarged sella turcica has been noted in children, it is not widely known that children suffer from this syndrome. Therefore, the aims of this paper are to increase neurosurgeons' awareness of the existence of this phenomenon in children and to add to the scant body of literature on the subject. The authors treated 12 children, ranging in age between 2 and 8 years in whom neuroradiological studies demonstrated an enlarged sella turcica filled with cerebrospinal fluid and herniation of suprasellar and arachnoid spaces. The causes of ESS in these children were high intracranial pressure, neglected or improperly treated hydrocephalus, and suprasellar arachnoid cyst. Primary ESS was found as well. Most of the children presented with headache, abnormal body weight (the majority being underweight), and short stature. The results of hormone assays were normal in all children. If undiagnosed and untreated, ESS in children may lead to serious consequences, including impairment of pituitary and hypothalamic function and damage to the optic chiasm. It is important to raise awareness in the neurosurgical community about the existence of ESS in children so that it can be diagnosed and treated at an early stage. A classification system for the diaphragma sellae is recapitulated.

The PTC Primer... Chapter Four - Physicians Speak Up Dr. Benes Answers Your Questions Dr. Susan Benes is a neuro-ophthalmologist with a practice in Columbus, Ohio. We thank her for assisting us with the following answers. What is "empty sella" and what is its significance? What percentage of PTC patients have this "empty sella"? "An empty sella is the small, almost dime-shaped recess in a bone right between your two eyes that is supposed to hold your pituitary gland. The pituitary gland gets squashed from increased intracranial pressure and it molds the pituitary down into a crescent shape at the bottom of that dime-shaped hole over time. I would say at least 80% of PTC patients have this empty sella. Some people with an empty sella syndrome have a lot of menstrual difficulties. I believe that the emptiness of the sella is a testimony to the fact that the extra pressure of the spinal fluid has been high for a period of time and that the sella's shape reflects the pressure problems." Statistics that say 80% of PTC patients respond to treatment; 10% have ongoing problems. Is this accurate?

1Up Health Empty-sella syndrome Alternative Medicine Clinical Trials ... Health Topics A-Z Search 1Up Health Empty-sella syndrome Information Empty-sella syndrome Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors Definition : Absence of the pituitary gland on radiological imaging of the sella turcica, a bony structure that partly surrounds the gland. Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors The pituitary gland is a small, oval gland at the base of the brain. It makes several hormones that control the function of other glands in the body including the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and gonads (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 the 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 (e.g., surgery, head trauma, radiation therapy), the condition is called secondary empty sella syndrome. Primary empty sella syndrome is most often an incidental finding on radiological imaging of the brain. Pituitary function is usually normal, and patients do not have any symptoms. The hormone prolactin is mildly elevated in 10-15 % of patients, and the elevated prolactin may interfere with normal function of the testes or ovaries. Medications that suppress prolactin production (e.g., bromocriptine) are effective in correcting the problem.
