Empty sella syndrome happens when the pituitary gland appears flattened or partially compressed within its normal bony enclosure. It is most often found unexpectedly and usually has no impact on health. An MRI may show this as a normal anatomical variation. Identifying this finding provides context if hormone-related symptoms are ever investigated in the future.
