Empty Sella Syndrome and Pituitary Function
7. At-Risk Populations
Primary empty sella syndrome is four times more common in women than men, though men are more likely to experience hormonal dysfunctions.
Most cases occur in middle-aged women with obesity and high blood pressure, but they are usually asymptomatic. Researchers estimate that less than one percent of people with empty sella syndrome develop symptoms. Although women are more likely to have this condition, men seem to be more likely to be symptomatic.
