Abstract

The clinical symptoms and the radiographic findings of five female patients with "primary empty sella" were studied. The patients were treated with corticosteroid therapy and the clinical syndrome, with the exception of optic subatrophy of the left eye in one patient and of both eyes in another patients, improved in all of them. In subsequent controls, the radiographic findings did not show any evolution suggesting that the cause of the empty sella syndrome is a potentially regressive element (endocranial hypertension?). The small number of our cases does not prove with any certainty that corticosteroid treatment, was beneficial but as improvement occurred and in all the subjects this therapy should be tried in other patients with "empty sella" syndrome. The possible improvement of the empty sella syndrome has to be taken into account before deciding on surgical intervention.
