Acromegaly with empty sella, a case report
Acromegaly is characterized by progressive somatic deformity and systemic symptoms associated with excessive growth hormone (GH) secretion. The mean age at diagnosis of acromegaly ranges from 40 to 47 years, with a prevalence of 28–137 per million and an incidence of 2–11 new patients per year. Men and women are equally affected. Due to its slow progression and insidious nature, diagnosis is often delayed.
