A 55-year-old male patient who had a history of schizophrenia for 20 years was admitted to the Department of Psychiatry, in a tertiary care center. The patient presented with an exacerbation of symptoms for three months, with no apparent cause, leading to the suspicion of an underlying organic cause. The patient was overweight, was newly diagnosed as a case of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and also had swelling over his left ear. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain and laboratory testing that were done while he was in the hospital revealed the existence of a partially empty sella. With the MRI findings, it can be said that the partially empty sella and the occurrence of schizophrenia can be related to each other. In the existing literature, a few studies indicate the correlation between the two, and future studies can help with identifying the association.
一名有20年精神分裂症病史的55岁男性患者入住一家三级护理中心的精神科。患者症状加重三个月，无明显诱因，怀疑存在潜在的器质性病因。患者超重，新诊断为2型糖尿病，左耳也有肿胀。患者住院期间进行的脑部磁共振成像（MRI）和实验室检查显示存在部分空蝶鞍。根据MRI结果，可以说部分空蝶鞍与精神分裂症的发生可能相互关联。在现有文献中，一些研究表明两者之间存在相关性，未来的研究有助于确定这种关联。
