Coexisting acromegaly and primary empty sella syndrome.
The normal functions of the pituitary gland may be suppressed when the gland is compressed onto the sella floor by arachnoid tissue extending through an impaired sella diaphragm. Interestingly, pituitary hormone hypo- and hypersecretion, including acromegaly, have been observed in patients with an 'empty sella'(1-4). This 'empty sella syndrome' has been classified into a primary form, in which ...

Background: The empty sella syndrome (ESS) is a neurological or pathologic finding in which sella turcica is devoid of pituitary tissue and the subarachnoid space extends into sella turcica, which is either primary or secondary as well as partial and complete. The widespread use of CT scans and MRIs today has made the ESS a common finding in imaging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pr...
متن کاملPuzzling Visual Field Loss in Patients with Primary Empty Sella
Several patterns of visual field loss including bitemporal or binasal defects have been sporadically reported in empty sella syndrome (ESS). The authors present automated and Goldmann perimetry findings in three female patients (age range 54-64 years) with ESS, normal intraocular pressure, good visual acuity, and non-glaucomatous cupping of the optic disc. Irregular bilateral peripheral constri...
متن کامل[The empty sella syndrome].
The empty sella syndrome (ESS) presents a varied clinical and radiographic picture. It may remain asymptomatic or may stimulate an intrasellar growth thereby causing diagnostic and therapeutic problems. An air encephalogram (AEG) is required for diagnosis. The purpose of this paper is to review the clinical and radiological features of the ESS and to discuss the pathogenetic mechanisms involved.
