An increase in intracranial pressure can cause an empty sella.
And an empty sella can be a sign of hormone deficiencies and/or pituitary dysfunction.
Sometimes a head injury can cause a temporary increase in intracranial pressure which can cause an empty sella which disrupts the functioning of the endocrine system (pituitary gland) and then after 2-3 years the pituitary gland inflates back up which makes the sella no longer empty but the dysfunction remains.
