What is mild partial empty sella?

Answer 1

Mild partial empty sella is a radiological finding observed on brain imaging, specifically an MRI, where the sella turcica (the bony structure housing the pituitary gland) appears partially empty. This condition may arise due to the flattening of the pituitary gland or cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in the sella, often without significant clinical symptoms. It is usually considered benign and may be discovered incidentally during imaging for other reasons. In many cases, it does not require any treatment unless associated with hormonal imbalances or other neurological issues.
