Article Excerpts about Empty Sella Syndrome
Empty sella syndrome is a rare congenital disorder that occurs when an empty space in the brain fills with cerebrospinal fluid as a result of a deformity in the brain. (Source: excerpt from NINDS Empty Sella Syndrome Information Page: NINDS)
Definitions of Empty Sella Syndrome:
A condition associated with underdevelopment or absence of the diaphragma sellae which allows herniation of the meninges into the SELLA TURCICA. The pituitary gland becomes compressed against the walls of the sella and the sella may enlarge. Female gender; OBESITY; PSEUDOTUMOR CEREBRI; and pituitary ADENOMA are associated with this condition, which may present with HEADACHE. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch36, p85) - (Source - Diseases Database)
Empty Sella Syndrome is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of
Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH). This means that Empty Sella Syndrome, or a subtype of Empty Sella Syndrome,
affects less than 200,000 people in the US population.
