ABSTRACT

Empty Sella Syndrome is a significant problem that can impair hormonal function in patients and is frequently misdiagnosed due to its common asymptomatic nature. A case study of a 60-year- old patient from Meghalaya with recurrent hypoglycaemia and hypothyroidism showed, through laboratory and imaging investigations, the presence of empty sella syndrome. Substantial data from clinical studies adds to the diagnosis of empty sella syndrome, however its particular aetiology remains a subject of considerable speculative interest. The assessment of fundamental serum investigations frequently results in the misdiagnosis of this illness, highlighting the need for targeted awareness programs for non-endocrinologists. Hormonal assessments of FSH, fT3, and fT4 must be accurately recorded for the appropriate diagnosis of empty sella syndrome prior to radiological studies. Corticosteroids, HRT and thyroxine supplementation are the first line of treatment.
