✦ Synopsis


In the last 3 years 86 patients were referred for suspected primary intrasellar pathology. Two of them had coexisting pituitary adenoma and partial empty sella. This situation has been diagnosed pre-operatively thanks to CT Iopamidol cisternography. The pre-operative diagnosis of this common anatomic condition allows safer operations, preventing intra-operative CSF fistulas.
