A prolactin-secreting tumor is the most common cause of amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome. This case highlights galactorrhea as a rare symptom of empty sella syndrome in a middle-aged woman.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Amenorrhea-galactorrhea syndrome is typically caused by prolactin-secreting tumors.
  • Empty sella syndrome (ESS) often presents with headaches and visual disturbances.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of galactorrhea as the primary presentation of ESS.
  • The patient was a middle-aged woman experiencing hyperprolactinemia.

Findings:

  • The patient presented with galactorrhea due to hyperprolactinemia.
  • This hyperprolactinemia was associated with a primary empty sella syndrome.

Implications:

  • Galactorrhea can be a rare presenting symptom of empty sella syndrome.
  • Highlights the importance of considering ESS in cases of unexplained hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea.
