["Empty" sella turcica in benign intracranial hypertension]. 1991

A S Deev

Forty-four patients aged 15 to 50 years with benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) were under observation. There were 40 women and 4 men. 22 women had fallen ill during pregnancy, 4 during menopause, 2 patients due to hypothyrosis, 2 because of a respiratory disease, and 2 after a mild craniocerebral trauma. In 12 patients, the cause of the disease remained ++un-established. The "empty" turkish saddle was visualized in 5 women aged 32, 34, 46, 49 and 50 years. Pneumoencephalography and computer-aided tomography appeared to be of paramount importance in the diagnosis of the "empty" turkish saddle.

D010911 Pituitary Neoplasms Neoplasms which arise from or metastasize to the PITUITARY GLAND. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties (see ADENOMA, BASOPHIL; ADENOMA, ACIDOPHIL; and ADENOMA, CHROMOPHOBE). Pituitary tumors may compress adjacent structures, including the HYPOTHALAMUS, several CRANIAL NERVES, and the OPTIC CHIASM. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal HEMIANOPSIA.

D011559 Pseudotumor Cerebri A condition marked by raised intracranial pressure and characterized clinically by HEADACHES; NAUSEA; PAPILLEDEMA, peripheral constriction of the visual fields, transient visual obscurations, and pulsatile TINNITUS. OBESITY is frequently associated with this condition, which primarily affects women between 20 and 44 years of age. Chronic PAPILLEDEMA may lead to optic nerve injury (see OPTIC NERVE DISEASES) and visual loss (see BLINDNESS).

D004652 Empty Sella Syndrome A condition when the SELLA TURCICA is not filled with pituitary tissue. The pituitary gland is either compressed, atrophied, or removed. There are two types: (1) primary empty sella is due a defect in the sella diaphragm leading to arachnoid herniation into the sellar space; (2) secondary empty sella is associated with the removal or treatment of PITUITARY NEOPLASMS.
