Abstract

Introduction: Empty sella (ES) occurs when the subarachnoid space is herniated into the sella turcica (ST). ES may be radiologically determined randomly, and patients with ES are usually asymptomatic. However, approximately 20% of partial ES (PES) cases can be symptomatic. Therefore, it is important to accurately diagnose patients with ES for treatment. We studied whether there is a difference in ST dimensions between patients with ES and healthy individuals using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and we compared a group of measurements using computed tomography (CT). Materials and Methods: In this study, 212 patients with ES and 98 healthy individuals were enrolled and underwent cranial 3T MRI. The study population was divided into 3 groups: the PES, total ES (TES), and control groups. Patients who underwent both cranial MRI and paranasal CT were placed in a separate group. The aperture, height, and length of the ST of all subjects were measured. Results: MRI and CT showed that the length, height, and aperture diameters of the ST were statistically significantly different between the PES, TES, and control groups (p
