          Abstract

          An empty sella is a relatively common condition, often being an incidental finding at MRI or CT scan. It can develop because of the intrasellar herniation of Cerebro-spinal Fluid (CSF) and arachnoid membrane through an absent or rudimentary diaphragm sellae in concomitance of a sudden and even transient increment of intracranial pressure, leading to a picture in which the pituitary is flattened along the floor of the sella.
