title: [Diagnosis and treatment of patients with primary "empty" sella turcica syndrome at the stage of sanatorium-and-spa rehabilitation].
abstract: The authors report the first attempt to develop the treatment strategy for patients with primary "empty" sella turcica syndrome based at a health resort facility. It is shown that combined therapy including radon baths and acupuncture at specific auricular points makes it possible to improve functioning of the pituitary-ovarian system, decrease body weight, normalize blood prolactin level, eliminate visceral obesity, enhance tissue sensitivity to insulin, reduce hyperinsulimenia and fertility problems (anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and hypoluteinism) associated with insulin resistance.
