Empty sella headache: The "empty sella" is often discovered incidentally in people with no symptoms. Sometimes hormonal problems, but usually not. There are several causes of empty sella. Some involve increased pressure in the brain, such as pseudotumor cerebri, which can cause headaches. Presumably your scans would have seen a tumor. Talk to your neurologist about the best next steps in diagnosis/treatment.

Possibly: An empty sella is usually a normal variant. In some cases, the empty sella can be a result of another problem, such as increased intracranial pressure.
