  • Title: [Empty sella turcica revealed by panhypopituitarism disclosed by severe hyponatremia].
    Author: Brinkane A, Loucif T, Ounnadi-Corbillé W, Damieri A, Levy R.
    Journal: Ann Endocrinol (Paris); 2003 Oct; 64(4):281-3. PubMed ID: 14595240.
    Abstract:
    A 56-year old multiparious woman taking medication for depression was hospitalized for vomiting and abdominal pain. Laboratory tests showed severe hyponatremia and led to the diagnosis of panhypotuitarism due to an empty sella turcica. We recall the mechanism of hyponatremia in this context and point at the importance of endocrine tests in patients with an empty sella turcica.
