EMPTY SELLA SYNDROME TREATMENT

EMPTY SELLA SYNDROME

Is a medical condition that involves an enlarged sella turcica, which is a bony structure in the skull that houses the pituitary gland. Despite the term "empty," the sella turcica is not entirely empty but appears larger because the pituitary gland has flattened or compressed against the sella turcica walls. Empty sella syndrome can occur for various reasons, and it may or may not cause symptoms.

TYPES AND CAUSE OF EMPTY SELLA SYNDROME

  • Primary empty sella syndrome: This type occurs when there is a defect in the sellar diaphragm, a thin layer of tissue that separates the sella turcica from the fluid-filled space above it called the subarachnoid space. Due to this defect, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) enters the sella turcica, causing it to expand and the pituitary gland to be compressed against the sella walls. Primary ESS is usually an incidental finding and is not associated with any specific underlying health condition.
  • Secondary empty sella syndrome: This type is a consequence of an underlying medical condition or prior treatments. It can result from various factors, such as pituitary surgery, radiation therapy to the brain or pituitary gland, pituitary tumors (which may be surgically removed or shrink over time), and other conditions that cause increased intracranial pressure.

SIGN AND SYMPTOMS OF EMPTY SELLA SYNDROME

  • Many individuals with empty sella syndrome are asymptomatic
  • hormonal imbalances if the pituitary gland's functioning is affected. T
  • reproductive imbalances

DIAGNOSIS OF EMPTY SELLA SYNDROME

 is typically made through imaging studies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. MRI can reveal the enlarged sella turcica and the flattened appearance of the pituitary gland.
