  • Title: Empty sella syndrome in nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome.
    Author: Takanashi J, Fujii K, Takano H, Sugita K, Kohno Y.
    Journal: Brain Dev; 2000 Jun; 22(4):272-4. PubMed ID: 10838118.
    Abstract:
    We reported the magnetic resonance imaging of four young patients (13 to 19 years) with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), which showed empty sella, agenesis of the corpus callosum and empty sella, an interhemispheric lipoma with callosal dysgenesis, and an arachnoid cyst in the posterior fossa, respectively. Calcification of the diaphragma sellae, which is a protective barrier against the pulsating action of the cerebrospinal fluid, may cause the empty sella in NBCCS.
