摘要
Empty sella syndrome is a condition in which the sella turcica is partially or totally filled with cerebrospinal fluid causing a displacement of the pituitary gland. We here report the case of a 49-year old obese patient with progressive headaches, physical asthenia and hypothyroidism. Brain scanner showed empty sella syndrome.
