Brief Answer:
Shrinking of the pituitary glannd.
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
Near empty sella or empty sella refers to the shrinking or flattening of the pituitary gland found in the imaging studies.
Most of the cases don't have any symptoms associated with it, in symptomatic cases, there may be a headache, vision problems, hormonal imbalances, etc.
Patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension often represent empty sella too.
In your case, an evaluation for pituitary hormone levels and vision evaluation is necessary.
After this evaluation, it should be clear if something needs to be treated or not.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask if you have further questions.
