Abstract
|
|
|
|
Differentiating between empty sella syndrome (ESS) and isolated intrasellar arachnoid cysts (ISAC) in cases of panhypopituitarism is critical for determining appropriate treatment strategies. However, the radiological properties of these lesions are quite similar on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CT cisternography using radiopaque dye is a useful modality for identifying symptomatic ISAC without para- or suprasellar extension. We present a successful case of surgically treated symptomatic ISAC, which had been previously diagnosed and treated medically without improvement.
