dc.description.abstractBackground:Empty sella syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by enlargement or malformation of a structure in the skull known as the sella turcica. Most individuals with empty sella syndrome do not have any associated symptoms, but the finding raises concerns about hormone deficiencies. Empty sella syndrome may occur as a primary disorder (idiopathic) or as a secondary disorder in which it occurs due to an underlying condition or disorder such as a treated pituitary tumor, head trauma, or a condition known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (also called pseudotumor cerebri) during which elevated intracranial pressure causes empty sella syndrome. Here we present a case of 25 year married female having symptoms and signs of raised ICP and decreased secondary sexual characters with blood investigations showing hypothyroidism. Her MRI Brain showed features of raised intracranial pressure (ICP) suggestive of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension with partially empty sella. Patient was diagnosed as Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension with partial empty Sella with hypothyroidism and hypogonadotrophic normogonadism secondary to raised ICP. Patient was treated with IV Mannitol, thyroxine was started according to weight and other supportive treatment. Patient consciousness improved and got better. Patient was discharged with follow up on oral acetazolamide, thyroxine and hormone replacement therapy.en_US
