“…Many researchers has been reported the shape variation in the sella turcica (1,(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). Gordon and Bell (11) examined the radiographs of children 1-12 years of age and classified the sella turcica into circular, oval, and flattened, or saucer shaped.…”

The aim of this study was to describe the shape and measure the size of the sella turcica in Turkish subjects with different skeletal types. Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 150 patients (75 females and 75 meals) were taken and distributed according to skeletal classification; 50 Class I, 50 Class II, and 50 Class III. The sella turcica on each radiograph was analyzed and measured to determine the shape of the sella, in addition to the linear dimensions of length, depth, and diameter. In statistical comparison, Independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, one-way analysis of variance and post-hoc Tukey HSD, and Fishers Exact tests were used at p<0.05 level. The statistical analysis showed that there were no significant differences in linear dimensions of the sella turcica between genders. Normal shape of the sella turcica was seen in the majority of the subjects (68,7%), regardless of gender, age or skeletal type. When skeletal type was compared with sella size, a significant difference was found in the diameter of sella between the Class I and Class II subjects. Larger diameter values were present in the skeletal Class I subjects, while smaller diameter sizes were apparent in Class II subjects. Sella shape and dimensions reported in the current study can be used as reference standards for further investigations involving the sella turcica area in Tukish subjects.

“…Variations in the shape of sella turcica have long been reported by many researchers [4,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The shape of sella turcica was classified in to circular, oval, and flattened or saucer-shaped and majority of the subjects had either a circular or oval shaped sella [18,19].…”

“…Gorden and Bell [9] in 1922 examined radiographs of normal children in between 1 and 12 years of age and categorized sella turcica into three shapes, circular, oval, flat/saucer shaped. Circular or oval shaped sella turcica were observed in majority of subjects, and they arrived at a conclusion that not all cases could easily be put into such a broad three-way classification.…”

“…The post-natal development was studied by Gordon and Bell [11], Ruchsteiner [25], and Mahmoud [20]. In the newborn the sella turcica appears as a shallow depression in the body of the sphenoid bone, for the dorsum sellae has not yet ossified.…”

The dorsum sellae in infancy and childhood

Abslract. Evaluation of the dorsum sellae in infants and children is often difficult. Understanding its normal development and anatomy will help in the detection of pathologic states. The normal central concavity of the dorsum, normal pointing and tapering of the superior dorsum, variation in size and shape of the posterior clinoids, ossified dural bridging and a variable size of the dorsum occur at these ages. Changes associated with hydrocephalus, intrasellar and suprasellar turnouts in the early stage may mimic variations of the norm. Multiple tomographic sections and projections of the sella and clinical correlation are essential.
