Empty Sella Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Empty sella syndrome is a finding in which the bony space that houses the pituitary gland, at the base of the brain, appears totally or partially filled with fluid, so that the gland looks flattened. In many cases it causes no discomfort.
Possible manifestations: When it does cause symptoms, it may be associated with headache or, in some people, with disturbances in hormone production.
Why is it studied? Because it is worth confirming whether the hormonal function of the pituitary remains normal.
Who evaluates it? The endocrinologist, or the pediatric endocrinologist in children, is the professional who assesses the functioning of this gland. If an imaging study reports this finding, discussing it with that specialist makes it possible to know whether it requires follow-up.
