Sella MRI Cases

<div>HISTORY:&#160;This 61-year-old male presents with hypogonadism and decreased testosterone level.(QUIZ ANSWER) PRIMARY FINDING:&#160;Empty sella.&#160;Using the&#160;diagnostic web viewer, we have provided images that assist in telling our clinical story. Areas of significance are indicated below.FINDINGS: Empty sella may be a cause of diminished testosterone secretion or low-T syndrome.&#160;Scattered areas of gliosis are present throughout the brain, mild.&#160;Incidentally noted is arthrosis of the right temporomandibular joint.&#160;Left maxillary sinus disease.&#160;The supratentorial brain demonstrates normal or slightly diminished volume but the cerebellar vermis is atrophic.&#160;CONCLUSION:&#160;Empty sella versus pituitary hypoplasia with the former favored and might contribute to low testosterone syndrome. Cortisol and / or ACTH and TSH levels might also be checked at this junction.</div>
