Magnetic resonance imaging has proved to be the best technique to visualise the sella and juxtasellar area and it is used successfully to evaluate children with hypopituitarism or other endocraniological disorders in this area. The Authors present two cases of "empty sella syndrome", both characterized by growth hormone deficiency associated with precocious puberty in one case and with delayed puberty in the other one. The Authors stress the importance of magnetic resonance imaging in defining the morphological aspects of the hypothalamo-pituitary region and that empty sella can be associated either with pituitary hypofunction or hyperfunction.
磁共振成像已被证明是可视化蝶鞍和鞍旁区域的最佳技术，并且它已成功用于评估患有垂体功能减退或该区域其他内分泌疾病的儿童。作者介绍了两例“空蝶鞍综合征”病例，其中一例的特征是生长激素缺乏伴性早熟，另一例伴青春期延迟。作者强调磁共振成像在确定下丘脑 - 垂体区域形态学方面的重要性，以及空蝶鞍可能与垂体功能减退或亢进相关。
