Abstract
Rarely has empty sella syndrome been documented in children, and radiographic imaging frequently identifies subarachnoid herniation through the sellar diaphragm and pituitary gland compression. In this correspondence, we report the discovery of an empty sella turcica on a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a short 5-year-old kid. He identified hypopituitarism in form growth hormone deficiency and central adrenocortical insufficiency but normal thyroid function `during neuroendocrine examination of hypothalamic-pituitary function. Before beginning growth hormone therapy, this knowledge is essential to prevent the dangerous effects of an adrenal crisis. This matter was brought to light.
