Background: Advances in the era of modern micro-neurosurgery enabled a reduction surgical invasiveness and brain retraction which has been defined as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery. Sinonasal endoscopy brought radical changes concepts pathophysiology treatment sinonasal diseases well techniques. Objective: Assessment patient outcomes regarding transsphenoidal endoscopic microscopic appro...

Objectives: Sella turcica is a substantial anatomic reference structure used to assess craniofacial growth and treatment changes in orthodontics. The aim of this retrospective study was analyze the size morphology sella different subdivisions Class II malocclusion compare it I development. Materials Methods: conducted with 150 patient’s pre-treatment lateral cephalometric radiographs. Good-qual...

Empty sella is often an incidental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) finding. It may be partial or complete and can primary secondary due to intracranial hypertension, radiation exposure pituitary apoplexy. Most of the patients are asymptomatic but features panhypopituitarism develop in some. This a case report 70-year-old female who presented with complaints vomiting, altered sensorium irritabi...

Intrasellar arachnoid cyst is very rare. We report a case of intrasellar arachnoid cyst. A 44-year-old male was admitted for evaluation of his headache and visual disturbance on August 6, 1993. Neurological examination revealed bilateral decreased visual acuity and visual field defect. Endocrinological examination showed panhypopituitarism. Other neurological findings were normal. X-ray film of...

While pituitary adenomas make up over 90% of all sellar masses, there are a number of less known tumors, both malignant and benign, which may arise within the sella turcica. These include relatively common tumors such as meningiomas and craniopharyngiomas, as well as extremely rare tumors such as pituitary astrocytomas and granular cell tumors. Unfortunately, many of these tumors lack character...

Recurrent manic-like episodes can be induced by hyponatremia possibly due to empty sella syndrome. In the present case, the patient was proven to have syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) secretion with manic symptoms that resolved after the normalization of the plasma sodium level.To our knowledge, this is the first case of hyponatremia-induced manic symptoms in a patient wit...
