Silla turca vacía primaria reversible: A propósito de un caso

Abstract: ResumenSe presenta el caso de un niña de 13 años con un aumento del tamaño de la hipófisis sugerente de adenoma que, tras un episodio de hidrocefalia aguda, desarrolló en la RM una silla turca vacía parcial. Tras la colocación de una derivación de líquido cefalorraquídeo, se normalizó la presión intracraneal y la hipófisis volvió a ocupar todo el espacio de la fosa sellar. Se discute la posibilidad de que en la silla turca vacía primaria con hipertensión intracraneal crónica idiopática, esté implicada una atro… Show more

“…While there is no clear genetic association known to cause a predisposition to PES, it is likely that the incompetent diaphragma sellae was present at the patient's birth [3]. The pathogenetic mechanisms of PES are not well established, but an ischemic atrophy of the adenohypophysis may be involved in the development of a PES with idiopathic chronic raised intracranial pressure, preventing the recovery of the gland volume after the intracranial pressure is restored to normal values [8,11]. Restitution of ES may also be an indicator of ordinary intracranial pressure [11].…”
