4. What Are the Standard Treatments and Therapies?

Treatment is likely unnecessary for primary empty sella syndrome, as long as there are no noticeable symptoms. For those who do experience symptoms, there are a couple of treatment options: surgery and medication. Doctors typically reserve surgery for patients suffering from cerebrospinal fluid leaking from their nose. Medications are typically just pain relievers for headaches.

A diagnosis of secondary empty sella syndrome is different. When the condition directly results from another ailment, your doctor may seek to treat the underlying cause. For example, a doctor can treat head trauma that caused the syndrome to develop. Sometimes, the treatment or therapy used for the underlying condition can limit the severity of the corresponding empty sella syndrome. However, sometimes the syndrome remains even after the correction of the primary issue.
