In this condition the pituitary gland shrinks or flattens. Pituitary gland is an important gland to manage the functions of the body. On MRI an empty sella turcica is seen in the condition of sella syndrome. If in case it is partially visible on MRI it can be stated as Partial empty sella syndrome. Pituitary is located in the sella turcica at the base of the brain.

The exact cause of this syndrome is unknown. It can be congenital. Some individuals suffering from this problem are associated with partial empty sella syndrome and can be born with a tear in the diaphragm. Following are the few possible causes of Partial empty sella syndrome.

  • Trauma in Head
  • Infection
  • Pituitary Tumors
  • Radiation Therapy or surgery in the area of the pituitary gland conditions related to the brain or pituitary gland, such as Sheehan syndrome, intracranial hypertension, neurosarcoidosis, or hypophysitis.

Risk Factor

Women are more prone to this condition. Women who are middle aged, having high blood pressure and suffering from obesity are at more risk. Lack of symptoms may lead to an undiagnosed case. Thus gender, age, B.P is the major risk factors.

  2. Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan– In this investigation X ray is done from several angles to create a more complete picture.

Treatment Based on the Type of Empty Sella

The treatment of empty sella syndrome is not specific. In case if there is impaired ovary function due to higher levels of prolactin then it is important to manage the prolactin levels. Hormone replacement is also recommended so as to fulfill the need of the body system. In ayurvedic treatment tridoshas should be managed with the proper herbs and panchakarma procedures.

Partial empty sella syndrome can be correlated with Tridoshaja dushti. The aggravation of the vata dosha may lead to obstruction of channels and simultaneous aggravation of Pitta and Kapha dosha.
