Partial empty sella syndrome (ESS) is a radiological finding characterized by herniation of the subarachnoid space into the sella turcica, leading to flattening of the pituitary gland. It is usually discovered incidentally on brain imaging performed for unrelated reasons. Although often benign, empty sella may occasionally be associated with endocrine or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure abnormalities. This case highlights the incidental finding of partial empty sella in a middle-aged woman investigated for chronic headache and reviews the clinical relevance for primary care physicians.
