[Hypopituitarism in the elderly at an internal medicine department]

We describe three cases of hypopituitarism with empty sella in elderly patients. Hypopituitarism in geriatric population is not uncommon, but is oftern underestimated and confused with more frequent diseases. It can sometimes determine severe clinical picture, above all for the consequences of adronocortical insufficiency. We emphasize that empty sella is not always an asymptomatic radiological finding.
