Abstract
|
|
|
Empty Sella Syndrome, first described by Busch in 1951 in cases which the pituitary formed only a thin layer of tissue at the bottom of a sella, is a poorly defined term. Deterioration in visual function after pituitary surgery is usually assumed to indicate recurrence. of tumor. However no tumor is found when enlarged sella is explored surgically on rare occasions.
The cause of syndrome is variable from a congenital absence of the diaphargma or widening of the .infundibular outlet, postradiation vasculitis, occlusion of small vessels, vascular strangulation to intrasellar non-neoplastic cyst.
We are reporting one. case of this.syndrome encountered recently at Yonsei University Medical Center.
