What is a MRI Scan Sella Test in Bangalore ?

An MRI Scan Sella is an imaging test that creates detailed pictures of the pituitary gland and the bony sella turcica around it. It shows gland size, shape, and nearby structures. The pituitary controls many important hormones for growth, reproduction, and metabolism. Detecting tumors, cysts, inflammation, or structural changes is important for diagnosing hormonal problems and vision threats. Doctors use these images to confirm a diagnosis, plan surgery or treatment, monitor tumor size over time, and check for complications after treatment. The scan helps connect symptoms such as headaches, vision changes, or unexplained hormone imbalances to an underlying structural cause.

Why Take a MRI Scan Sella Test in Bangalore ?

MRI Scan Sella is typically ordered as a dedicated pituitary imaging study when hormonal tests or symptoms suggest a pituitary problem. It is used after abnormal blood hormone levels, new vision changes, severe persistent headaches, or when monitoring a known pituitary tumor. The scan helps diagnose adenomas, cysts, empty sella, and other structural lesions. Abnormal results most often come from tumors, inflammation, prior surgery or trauma, or congenital changes. A family history of pituitary tumors or genetic syndromes may make this test more important.

What is sella in MRI in Bangalore?plus

The sella (sella turcica) on MRI is the bony pituitary fossa in the sphenoid bone that contains the pituitary gland and related structures. MRI assesses its size, shape, gland signal, and contrast enhancement to detect pituitary adenomas, cysts, hemorrhage, or empty sella. Coronal and sagittal T1-weighted pre- and post-contrast images best demonstrate gland anatomy and lesions.

What is the cost of MRI sella in Bangalore?plus

MRI sella (pituitary) costs vary by country and facility. In India private centers commonly charge roughly ₹2,000–10,000. In the UK it’s provided free via the NHS but private scans cost about £200–£800. In the US out‑of‑pocket prices typically range from $400 to $3,500. Final price depends on contrast use, scanner strength (1.5T vs 3T), radiologist fees, and insurance.

What does sella mean in the brain in Bangalore?plus

The sella (short for sella turcica) is a saddle-shaped bony depression in the sphenoid bone at the skull base that houses and protects the pituitary gland. It provides structural support and is an important landmark on brain imaging; enlargement or deformity of the sella can indicate pituitary tumors, cysts, or other sellar-region pathology affecting hormonal function and nearby structures.

Can empty sella cause eye problems in Bangalore?plus

Empty sella syndrome is often an incidental finding and usually causes no symptoms. However, if the pituitary is displaced or a coexisting pituitary lesion compresses the optic chiasm, it can cause visual problems—blurred vision, reduced acuity, visual field defects (classically bitemporal hemianopia), or double vision. Any visual change warrants prompt neuro‑ophthalmic and endocrine evaluation.

Is empty sella a brain tumor in Bangalore?plus

Empty sella is not a brain tumor. It’s an imaging finding where the sella turcica is partially or completely filled with cerebrospinal fluid, flattening the pituitary gland. Often incidental and harmless, it can sometimes cause hormonal imbalances or headaches. Management usually involves endocrine evaluation and monitoring; treatment targets any hormone problems rather than surgery unless complications arise.

What is meant by sella in Bangalore?plus

Sella (short for sella turcica) is a saddle-shaped depression in the sphenoid bone at the skull base that houses and protects the pituitary gland. It sits in the skull midline between the tuberculum and dorsum sellae. Clinically, sella size and shape are evaluated because enlargement, erosion or an “empty sella” can signal pituitary tumors, cysts or other sellar pathology.
