SYNOPSIS Headache was studied in a series of empty sella cases and the findings were compared with previous observations. Headache appeared to be very frequently associated with empty sella and its clinical features appeared distinguishable from migraine and tension headache, but very similar to pituitary chromophobe adenoma headache. Such an association seems to be in most cases pathogenetically significant and empty sella headache should therefore be included among the “secondary” headaches to be considered in the current diagnosis.
