    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Empty Sella Syndrome (ESS) has diverse symptoms and imaging findings, sometimes mimicking tumors. Diagnosis of this pituitary condition requires air encephalography (AEG).

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Empty Sella Syndrome (ESS) is a condition affecting the pituitary gland.
    • It can present with varied clinical and radiographic features, ranging from asymptomatic cases to those mimicking intrasellar masses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical and radiological characteristics of Empty Sella Syndrome.
    • To discuss the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms of ESS.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentations and radiological findings associated with ESS.
    • Discussion of proposed pathogenetic mechanisms based on existing literature.

    Main Results:

    • ESS exhibits a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations and imaging appearances.
  • Diagnostic challenges arise when ESS mimics other intrasellar pathologies.

    • Conclusions:

    • Accurate diagnosis of ESS is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Air encephalography (AEG) remains a key diagnostic tool for ESS.
