Empty Sella Syndrome (ESS) is a medical condition characterized by the enlargement or partial collapse of the sella turcica, a small bony structure in the skull that houses the pituitary gland. This condition can be either primary, where the cause is unknown, or secondary, resulting from conditions such as pituitary tumors, trauma, or radiation therapy.
In the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), the code for Empty Sella Syndrome is Q75.8. This code falls under the category of "Other specified congenital malformations of skull and face bones." The ICD-10 code system is widely used for classifying and coding medical diagnoses and procedures for billing, statistical, and research purposes.
In the previous version of the classification system, the Ninth Revision (ICD-9), the code for Empty Sella Syndrome was 253.8. This code was found under the category "Disorders of the Pituitary Gland and its Hypothalamic Control," specifically classifying "Other disorders of the pituitary gland."
