Empty Sella: what does endocrinologist test?

I go to the neurologist for headaches and migraines and they discovered the partially empty sella, believe it to be the cause of the headaches. I'm not sure if pressing on the pituitary has created some disruption of my hormones leading to the other symptoms: the hot flashes and wildly vacillating body temperatures.

@marcia101 - in literature they describe the sella as appearing empty, mostly filled with cerebrospinal fluid and the pituitary flattened out against the bone. This is why there could be some hormonal deficiencies and these could usually be treated.
