Empty Sella Resulting from the Spontaneous Resolution of a Pituitary Macroadenoma Arch Int Med 152:1920-1923, Robinson,D.B.&Michael,R.D., 1992 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Recent studies suggest that the infarction of a pituitary adenoma may be a frequent cause of an empty sella turcica.However,to date,evidence of such progression has been largely speculative.We present the case of a patient with a pituitary macroadenoma that underwent spontaneous involution resulting in an empty sella,as documented by serial magnetic resonance imaging scans.A brief review of the proposed causes of primary empty sella,with emphasis on pituitary necrosis,is provided.
