Hello Sara,
An empty SellA sounds awful too. I will find out tomorrow what's wrong with me. My spinal tap is in the morning. Thank you for the info. I just want to feel better and quite losing my eyesight.

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.
I love you... I have not been able to understand this empty sella thing until now... you are amazing! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

Can this be the cause of all my headaches, nausea and dizziness that has returned since the fateful yoga class?

Sounds like pseudo tumor to me... If that is what this is for you then the spinal tap should do wonders!

The other thing that they told me was if it was pseudo tumor was to lose weight... and sometimes even 10 lbs can make a difference... (I need to lose more like 100, but I digress)

Hello Sara,
How are u feeling? Yesterday I had my spinal tap, they told me that my pressure was not high. I'm totally confused, I bet I have an Empty Sella as well. I will find out on 7/28 when I see my nerouolgist. Last yr I fell and hit my head very hard on the cement. Sounds like u have had a rough time. Hugs
