Abstract
Pituitary gland shrinkage or flattening obscures it from view on an MRI, giving the impression that it is an empty sella. On the other hand, if some viable pituitary gland tissue is still seen on the MRI scan, a diagnosis of partial empty sella can be made. Diminished physiological and functional reserve in the elderly can result in a bad prognosis if not treated early. Therefore, there is a need to become familiar with fewer known causes and presentations of the empty sella or partial empty sella syndrome in older patients. We report a case of a 71-year-old female with multiple known ailments presenting with hypotension as the sole symptom. It urged us to investigate further and reach the root cause as partial empty sella syndrome with panhypopituitarism.
