Frequent headaches and had ct of sinuses for unrelated issue it showed partially empty sella. empty sella with headaches concerning? what causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Primary? IIH? Pseudo: A partially empty sella means that the pituitary gland (which usually sits in the sella) has shrunken. The key is to figure out if it is from primary or secondary causes. Primary means pituitary - you would've been left with hormone abnormalities. However, most secondary causes are from idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which causes headaches & is common in obese females. TTYD for confirm test

Mild to moderate scattered paranasal sinus mucosal thickening as above. Leftward nasal septal deviation. I did a ct scan of my sinuses. Had a ct scan before and diagnosed with sinusitis. I still have headaches, so in your opinion.this the cause?
The finding in my ct-scan was "hypoplastic frontal sinuses". I have headache all the time. What does it mean?
