Hi

I had an MRI back in 2005 that showed an empty sella

Did not think about it much

Had a hyperparathyroidusm and removal of one parathyroid...in 2007

Now as I started checking into why I have been experiencing difficulty with my vision and headaches....the empty sella popped up...

Yes....the percentage of folks who experience problem symptoms with empty sella is low.....or is it...how about fifty percent of empty sella folks get the headaches and ten percent get vision problems.

It all seems to fit ....cause you produce less cortisol...which leads to inflamation...which has been rampant with me....plus I have a few. Plus a few other symptoms.

My question is...

Without seeming to diagnose myself with my doctor....how do I present these facts to my doctor without seeming like I am diagnosing myself....

Because I backed into this very organically...that is....this empty sella thing is screaming at me very loud

Also....it seems I am probably going to have to get the pituitary glad chamber repaired in surgery to help the vision problems....

Can you tell me or give me some references that explain the whole empty sella and the treatments for symptoms

Peace

Christopher
