EMPTY SYNDROME SELLA TURCICA

Empty Syndrome sella turcica (PTS) was described as a rare phenomenon in neuroendocrinology. Currently, with the development of non-invasive diagnostic methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the increasing number of patients undergoing radiation, surgery or combined therapy for pituitary adenoma, the problem of PTS has become more relevant. The term "PTS syndrome" refers to the prolapse of the suprasellar cistern into the sella turcica, which results in the pituitary gland spreading along the bottom and walls of the sella turcica. This condition is accompanied by endocrine, neurological, and visual disturbances. A distinction is made between primary (idiopathic) and secondary PTS, which may occur after radiation, surgical or combined therapy of chiasmatic-sellar region diseases. This review will focus on primary PTS. Storystudy of PTSD syndrome The syndrome of the "empty" sella turcica was first described in 1875. Since then, it remains a subject of study in neuroendocrinology. In 1924, Schaffer proposed a classification of types of diaphragm, which includes two types: o a dense, fully formed arch over the saddle cavity; o underdeveloped vault with a sharply enlarged infundibular opening.
