The primary empty sella syndrome. 1977

M Farber, and R N Turksoy, and J Rogers

An extreme and unique manifestation of the primary empty sella syndrome was found by the pneumoencephalographic demonstration of air in the sella turcica of a short, 18-year-old, prepubescent female with primary amenorrhea. Gonadotropins and growth hormone were selectively deficient and not stimulated by luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) or insulin induced hypoglycemia, respectively.
