Reports from Zhejiang University Add New Data to Findings in Empty Sella Syndrome (A Case of Empty Sella Syndrome With the First Clinical Manifestation of Sick Sinus Syndrome).

A recent study conducted at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, explored the occurrence of sick sinus syndrome (SSS) in patients with empty sella syndrome (ESS). ESS is characterized by the herniation of cerebrospinal fluid into the sella, resulting in the enlargement of the sella and compression of the pituitary gland. The study reported a case of a 66-year-old female patient who presented with dizziness and fatigue and was diagnosed with SSS. Treatment with hydrocortisone and euthyrox alleviated her symptoms. The study concluded that thyroid function tests showed normal hormone levels during the follow-up period, and no abnormalities were observed in the electrocardiogram examination.
