📋Overview
Empty Sella Syndrome (ESS) is a condition characterized by the herniation of the subarachnoid space into the sella turcica, resulting in a flattened or partially absent pituitary gland on imaging. It is considered a radiological finding rather than a disease itself. ESS is classified into primary and secondary types based on etiology. The term 'Empty Sella Syndrome' remains the preferred modern terminology.
