      Abstract

      A case of 'low tension glaucoma' with primary empty sella is reported. The visual field defect and optic disc change were characteristic of glaucoma. The intraocular pressure was within normal limits. X-ray examination and the metrizamide-CF procedures revealed a primary empty sella. The coexistence of 'low tension glaucoma' and empty sella is discussed.
