Abstract





Empty sella syndrome is defined as a
herniation of the subarachnoid space within sella, hence, flattening of the
pituitary gland. Most of the empty sella cases are found incidentally which
this syndrome can be easily missed during maxillofacial radiological
examinations. The aim of this paper is to describe two cases of partial empty
sella and discuss the differential diagnosis for this condition.



Both patients administered to our clinic
with pain in the forehead and maxilla. In addition to clinical examination two
patients (37 year old male, 70 year old female) were imaged using panoramic
radiography, cone beam computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Panoramic radiographies showed no findings in terms of empty sella. However, in
CBCT imaging, both patients showed an expansion in the sella turcica and
protrusion into sphenoid sinus. These were more precisely located using 3D CT reconstructions.
MR imaging showed intermediant signal on T1-weighted images and high signal on
T2- weighted images. MRI findings showed the partial anterior prolapsus of
pituitary gland with cerebrospinal fluid leak in posterior border of sella
turcica. According to MRI findings, definitive diagnosis was partial empty
sella syndrome.

Maxillofacial radiologists should be aware
of this kind of abnormalities while reporting the entire FOV.

INCIDENTAL
DIAGNOSIS OF PARTIAL EMPTY SELLA ON CBCT: TWO CASE REPORTS



ÖZ



Empty sella sendromu, subaraknoid bölgenin
sella içerisine herniyasyonu bundan dolayı da hipofiz bezinin düzleşmesi olarak
tanımlanmıştır. Bir çok empty sella vakası tesadüfen tespit edildiği için bu
sendrom maksillofasiyal radyolojik inceleme sırasında kolaylıkla gözden
kaçabilir. Bu makalenin amacı iki parsiyel empty sella vakasını sunmak ve bu
durum ile ilgili ayırıcı tanıları tartışmaktır.



Her iki hasta da maksilla ve alın
bölgesinde ağrı ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Klinik muayeneye ek olarak her iki
hastadan da (37 yaş erkek, 70 yaş kadın) panoramik radyograf, konik ışınlı
bilgisayarlı tomografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile görüntüler alındı.
Panoramik radyografide empty sellaya ilişkin herhangi bir bulguya rastlanmadı.
Ancak, KIBT görüntülerinde her iki hastada da sella tursikada ekspansiyon ve
sfenoid sinüs içerisine protrüzyon görüldü. Bu bulgular 3 boyutlu
rekonstrüksiyon görüntülerinde tam olarak lokalize edildi. Manyetik rezonans
görüntülemede T1 ağırlıklı görüntülerde orta düzeyde sinyal ve T2 ağırlıklı
görüntülerde ise yüksek sinyal alındı. MRG bulguları sella tursikanın arka
sınırında serebrospinal sıvı sızıntısı ile birlikte hipofiz bezinin parsiyel
anterior prolapsusu olduğunu gösterdi. MRG bulguları ile parsiyel empty sella
kesin tanısı kondu.



Maksillofasiyal radyologlar görüntüleme
alanına giren tüm yapıları rapor ederken bu tip patolojilere de dikkat
etmelidirler.
