Empty sella turcica in intracranial sarcoidosis. Pituitary insufficiency, primary polydipsia, and changing neuroradiologic findings.

A 37-year-old man with visual loss was found to have hypopituitarism and primary polydipsia associated with sarcoidosis. Neuroradiologic studies demonstrated a dramatic evolution of CNS lesions, including a left thalamic infarct, an enhancing suprasellar mass, and ultimately an empty sella turcica. The patient has been clinically stable in spite of these changes. This case is likely to be the first reported of CNS sarcoidosis with an empty sella turcica documented by computed tomography.
