Length of the sella, depth of the sella and surface of the sella profile of 37 primary hypothyroids were compared with a normal group. All the three parameters were significantly different, though situated in the normal area. The results are discussed on the basis of literature. The reactive formation of hypophyseal tumours at adult age in primary myxoedema is relatively rare. However, in every enlargement of the sella also a primary hypothyreosis should be regraded differential-diagnostically. A therapeutic experiment with thyroid hormones should always be made.
将37例原发性甲状腺功能减退患者的蝶鞍长度、蝶鞍深度和蝶鞍轮廓表面积与正常组进行比较。所有这三个参数虽然位于正常范围内，但均有显著差异。根据文献对结果进行了讨论。原发性黏液性水肿成年期垂体肿瘤的反应性形成相对少见。然而，蝶鞍的每一次扩大也都应进行鉴别诊断，考虑原发性甲状腺功能减退症。应始终进行甲状腺激素治疗试验。
