Empty sella syndrome is sometimes associated with anterior pituitary insufficiency, the latter being mostly partial or dissociated.
We report a case of a profound panhypopituitarism revealing an empty sella syndrome. This case shows that empty sella syndrome, although a generally benign and asymptomatic condition, can be associated with hypopituitarism.
In case of empty sella syndrome, especially if an endocrine dysfunction is clinically suspected, minimal hormonal analysis must be requested.
空蝶鞍综合征有时与垂体前叶功能减退有关，后者大多为部分性或分离性。
我们报告一例以空蝶鞍综合征为表现的严重全垂体功能减退病例。该病例表明，空蝶鞍综合征虽然通常是一种良性且无症状的病症，但可与垂体功能减退相关。
对于空蝶鞍综合征患者，尤其是临床怀疑存在内分泌功能障碍时，必须进行最低限度的激素分析。
