Several hypotheses regarding its etiology have been proposed, including the strongly supported theory of a cephalic ossified notochordal remnant. Sellar spine is usually detected incidentally in patients who have no definite symptoms, but several cases have reportedly accompanied endocrinopathies such as precocious puberty, hypopituitarism, or galactorrhea\/oligomenorrhea. However, no published reports have described sellar spine in a patient with Cushing\u2019s syndrome. We herein report a case of sellar spine detected during the evaluation of Cushing\u2019s disease in a 29-year-old woman who underwent inferior petrosal sinus sampling, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and exploratory surgery. There was no evidence of a pituitary microadenoma, but a sellar spine was present in the operative field. Thus, the sellar spine might have caused Cushing\u2019s syndrome in this case, although the exact mechanism is unknown.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0300060520940159","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,16]],"date-time":"2020-07-16T10:41:00Z","timestamp":1594896060000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Incidentally detected sellar spine in a patient with Cushing\u2019s syndrome: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Hyo-jae","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yun Young","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Chonnam National University Hospital, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Byung Hyun","family":"Baek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Chonnam National University Hospital, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Woong","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Chonnam National University Hospital, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1508-5057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seul Kee","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Chonnam National University Hwasun Hospital, Korea"},{"name":"Department of Radiology, Chonnam National University Medical School, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s007010070071"},{"key":"bibr2-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1530\/EJE-07-0215"},{"key":"bibr3-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1530\/EC-16-0029"},{"key":"bibr4-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1530\/eje.0.1320082"},{"key":"bibr5-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000004579"},{"key":"bibr6-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wneu.2016.03.046"},{"key":"bibr7-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s003300050152"},{"key":"bibr8-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/01658108509071461"},{"key":"bibr9-0300060520940159","first-page":"35","volume":"11","author":"Zucchini S","year":"1998","journal-title":"J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab"},{"key":"bibr10-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004728-199411000-00031"},{"key":"bibr11-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1982.57.3.0407"},{"key":"bibr12-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000144840"},{"key":"bibr13-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00518787"},{"key":"bibr14-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/js.2019-00027"},{"key":"bibr15-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11102-019-00961-z"},{"key":"bibr16-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00598632"},{"key":"bibr17-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/197140091002300409"},{"key":"bibr18-0300060520940159","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004728-198807000-00022"}],"container-title":["Journal of International Medical Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0300060520940159","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0300060520940159","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0300060520940159","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T10:47:22Z","timestamp":1777459642000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0300060520940159"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,7]]},"references-count":18,"journal-issue":{"issue":"7","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,7]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0300060520940159"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0300060520940159","relation":{},"ISSN":["0300-0605","1473-2300"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0300-0605","type":"print"},{"value":"1473-2300","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,7]]},"article-number":"0300060520940159"}}
