Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients that were diagnosed with an (partial) empty sella detected by MRI or CT of the brain have been included in this study. Whenever the MRI or CT scan was performed more than two years ago, a new MRI scan was required.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Children (patients less than 18 years) and patients with earlier diagnosed carcinomas of the brain as well as patients with secondary empty sella (antecedents of radiation, pharmacological treatment of pituitary adenomas, traumatic head injury and surgery of the pituitary gland as well as the central nervous system) were not included.

In the context of this study, we will take two blood samples. In addition to the second blood sample, an insulin tolerance test (ITT) is also performed, even if the result of the blood values is normal. MRI will only be performed if the previous imaging was done more than two years ago or when the quality of the MRI was not good enough to measure the volume of the pituitary gland. |

MRI will only be performed if the previous imaging was done more than two years ago or when the quality of the MRI was not good enough to measure the volume of the pituitary gland.
This is needed for better analysis of the pituitary gland, as the pituitary volume could be important for the hormonal abnormalities.
