Not aware of: Empty sella syndrome is a condition where the pituitary gland appears flattened or shrunken within the sella turcica on a MRI scan. The pituitary gland usually continues to function normally, but in a minority of cases can become underactive (hypopituitarism). When people do have symptoms, these are the most common: Headaches. High blood pressure. Fatigue. Impotence (in men) Low sex drive. No mens
