Abstract

Clinical characteristics were analyzed retrospectively in a patient with empty sella and adrenal adenoma with regard to the elaborated diagnosis and treatment.Although empty sella syndrome alone was common,clinical combination with adrenal adenoma was rarely reported.It was difficult to diagnose due to complex symptoms and hormone levels.This case could help increase awareness of the disease and accumulate the experience in diagnosis and treatment.
