    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Endocrinology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Sella turcica abnormalities are occasionally identified during routine patient evaluations by oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
    • The empty sella syndrome (ESS) is a condition frequently associated with various sella turcica deformities.

    Observation:

    • Incidental radiographic findings of sella turcica abnormalities prompt further investigation.
    • A significant proportion of patients presenting with sella deformities are diagnosed with empty sella syndrome.

    Findings:

    • The study reviews the clinical presentation and radiographic characteristics of empty sella syndrome.
    • It highlights the diagnostic significance of identifying ESS in patients with sella turcica abnormalities.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Understanding ESS is crucial for oral and maxillofacial surgeons managing patients with incidental sella turcica findings.
    • Accurate diagnosis and awareness of ESS can guide appropriate patient management and follow-up.
    • This knowledge aids in differentiating ESS from other sellar region pathologies.
