Abstract
• Otolaryngologists frequently encounter patients with complaints of headaches. On occasion, normal physical examination findings may be accompanied by a roentgenographic enlargement of the sella turcica. In the process of evaluation for an intrasellar neoplasm, an "empty sella" is occasionally discovered. Patients with this condition commonly have headaches, although a cause-effect relationship is controversial. Endocrine and visual disturbances, although rare, necessitate periodic evaluation of these patients.
