What symptoms does your wife have? How old is she?
MRI shows ischemic areas in the brain. These ischemic areas could be as are a result of multiple strokes.
Empty sella turcica can occur due to enlargement of pituitary gland as a result of pregnancy or endocrine disorder. It is often associated with thyroid disorders, obesity, raised intracranial tension.
A correlation with clinical symptoms will help in making an exact diagnosis.
