Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypopituitarism is correct because by definition the sella is filled with CSF, not a lot of pituitary tissue; when the pituitary is compressed by excess CSF in the sella, it may not function well. This syndrome is not associated with any mass or disease involving the optic tract. NPH is associated with ventriculomegaly, not with increased CSF in the sella. Pituitary adenoma is almost the opposite of empty sella syndrome; there is an extra something of the pituitary in the sella, not less pituitary because it has been compressed by excess CSF.
