E23.6 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2024 edition of ICD-10-CM E23.6 became effective on October 1, 2023. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of E23.6 - other international versions of ICD-10 E23.6 may differ.
Empty Sella Syndrome a condition when the sella turcica is not filled with pituitary tissue. the pituitary gland is either compressed, atrophied, or removed. there are two types: (1) primary empty sella is due a defect in the sella diaphragm leading to arachnoid herniation into the sellar space; (2) secondary empty sella is associated with the ...
Empty sella syndrome (ESS), also known as arachnoidocele, is a radiologic finding in which the sella turcica appears empty due to cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) within the subarachnoid space herniating into the sella turcica.
What is empty sella syndrome? Empty sella syndrome (ESS) is a disorder that involves the sella turcica, a bony structure at the base of the brain that surrounds and protects the pituitary gland. ESS is often discovered during imaging tests for pituitary disorders.
In empty sella syndrome, the sella turcica (the bony structure at the base of the brain that houses the pituitary gland) fills with cerebrospinal fluid, partially or completely compressing the gland and may enlarge the sella turcica.
In empty sella syndrome, excess cerebrospinal fluid in the sella turcica displaces the pituitary gland, potentially causing hormonal abnormalities.
Empty sella and empty sella syndrome (ESS, an empty sella with neurological or endocrine abnormalities) are more prevalent than believed. We review etiologies, radiologic distinctions, and the role of clinical evaluation and hormone testing to identify ESS.

ABSTRACT. Empty sella is a radiological finding of a flattened pituitary in a sellar space filled with cerebrospinal fluid. It may be primary or secondary consequent to various processes causing injury and shrinkage of the pituitary gland (postpartum hemorrhage, pituitary surgery, irradiation, apoplexy, infection, head trauma, hypophysitis, etc.).
Pituitary deficiency due to empty sella turcica syndrome. Suggest an update. Disease definition. A rare pituitary deficiency characterized by herniation of the subarachnoid space into the sella turcica, resulting in flattening of the pituitary gland and endocrine dysfunction.
