Abstract
- Empty sella syndrome shows partial or total loss of pituitary tissue and enlargement of the sella turcica due to incomplete diaphragm sellae and herniation of subarachnoid space through the defect. This syndrome usually occurs in obese, hypertensive, and cephalgic women, but it is often asymptomatic. We report a case of primary empty sella syndrome diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging scan with literature review in 57-year-old female patient who had had unilateral cataract operation and presented with bilateral visual disturbance and bitemporal hemianopsia at postoperative 2 months.
