Empty sella syndrome and growth deficiency in childhood

Helv Paediatr Acta. 1987 Jun;42(1):49-53.

Abstract

We describe four cases of empty sella syndrome in childhood associated with growth and neuroendocrine disorders. We note that empty sella syndrome probably presents with endocrine disorders more often in childhood than in adults and that its frequency seems to be underestimated.
