5. Are There Any Life-Threatening Complications of Empty Sella Syndrome?

Empty sella syndrome is not life-threatening in itself. People with a primary diagnosis do not experience any reduction in life expectancy, and they will probably never show signs or symptoms. Yes, having a diagnosis of any medical condition can feel scary, but this illness is nothing to worry about, especially with a primary diagnosis. Live your best life, and don’t concern yourself with unnecessary stress.

A secondary empty sella syndrome diagnosis may be a little more concerning, depending on the primary condition responsible. It is impossible to list all possible conditions and the potential complications because of the spectrum and variety of traumas. However, people likely experience minimal problems or trauma from the syndrome itself. Any pain or suffering is likely the result of the underlying condition and not the empty sella syndrome.
