Description Neuroimaging frequently reveals a partially empty sella in patients with pseudotumor cerebri (PTC). It is thought to occur from compression of the pituitary gland by herniation of the subarachnoid space into the sella turcica. We compared the size of the sella turcica in patients with PTC and normal control subjects to determine if enlargement of the pituitary fossa also contributes to the appearance of a partially empty sella.
