Abstract:

Objective：To explore the clinical features and treatment of primary empty sella turcica syndrome（PESS）. Methods：The clinical data of 33 patients with PESS were analyzed retrospectively and pertinent literatures were reviewed. Results：Some patients （about 42.4%） had no correlative symptoms. The common symptoms were headache，dizziness，hypopsia，visual field defect and crypt－orrhea. Most patients did not need therapy. Conclusions：The clinical symptom of PESS in most patients is not typical and the diag－nosis depends on imaging data. Most patients do not need therapy.
