ABSTRACT
Male hypogonadism remains a poorly evaluated and managed clinical condition despite the availability of clinical guidelines. We present a case of a male patient diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism related to partial empty sella syndrome, whose clinical course was complicated by a hypotensive near-syncopal event. Although initial hypopituitarism symptoms could be subtle and nonspecific and could involve only one hormonal axis, a thorough evaluation of the pituitary function may identify additional deficiencies such as a subclinical chronic adrenal insufficiency that may become manifest during situations of increased physiological stress with potential life-threatening consequences.
