A member asked:
Is 3rd ventricle herniation into the sella, the same as empty sella syndrome? in intracranial hypertension. thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. Empty sella is not that rare and and it can be associated with increased intracranial pressure. Herniation of 3rd ventricle into empty sella is much more rare. It almost always may occur with secondary enlarged sella and inflammation. Empty sella may not need treatment or at most medical treatment, while herniation of third ventricle usually with optic chiasm herniation need neurosurgery.
