Primary empty sella with isolated ACTH deficiency and microprolactinoma.
Gynecol Endocrinol. 2012 Jul; 28(7):568-9.GE

Abstract

The empty sella turcica is defined as the herniation of the subarachnoid space within the sella with displacement of the pituitary towards the posteroinferior wall. By autopsy studies, the incidence in the general population is around 20%. The association of prolactinoma and empty sella has been coincidental & infrequently reported. As such for microadenoma, visual field testing and screening for hypopituitarism is not needed, but if it is associated with empty sella, both visual field testing and screening for hypopituitarism is necessary.
