What is the harm of cavitating sella turcica

summary

Two days ago, I went to exercise with my friends. I didn't go home until more than 9 pm. I thought it was dark, so I couldn't see clearly. However, when I got up the next morning, I found that my eyes were very blurred. So I went to the hospital and realized that I had empty sella. Today, let me learn from you the harm of a cavitating sella turcica.

What is the harm of cavitating sella turcica

First, vacuolar sella turcica syndrome is a series of clinical manifestations caused by sellar septal defect or pituitary atrophy, subarachnoid space protruding into the sella under the pressure of cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in sella turcica enlargement and pituitary compression. Headache is the most common symptom. Generally according to their own symptoms for targeted treatment, if the symptoms are mild, can not be treated.

Second, empty sella syndrome is due to the fact that the sella may be symmetrically spherical or square in shape, with the back of sella becoming thinner, the diaphragmatic defect or absence of sella, and the hypophysis flattening and sticking to the bottom or wall of sella. The space was filled with subarachnoid space, containing colorless and transparent cerebrospinal fluid and communicating with the subarachnoid space outside the sella. The arachnoid membrane outside the sella may thicken and adhere.

Third: at present, the treatment of patients with obvious visual impairment should be performed surgical exploration. If it is adhesion around the optic nerve, adhesiolysis can improve the visual acuity to a certain extent. It can be treated with artificial septum sellae. The patients complicated with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea were operated by transsphenoidal approach, and the pituitary fossa was filled with muscle and bone graft.

matters needing attention

If there is no change of vision and visual field, no treatment is needed. If it is serious, only surgery can relieve the symptoms. If there are no fertility requirements, there is no need for special treatment. Taking vitamins doesn't work for this. There's no need to take them.
