Discuccion :
Shape :
According to the study by Axelsson et al
(2004), shape of sella turcica was categorized
into six main types :
a. Normal saddle shaped (66%)
b. Oblique anterior wall (4%)
c. Double contour of the floor
(5.5%)
Irregularity in
posterior wall of
Sella Turcia
Pyramydical
shape of dorsum

Sella turcia
Bridging
Conclusion:
The results of this study constitute
quantitative data of sella turcica which
is used significantly by neurologists and
orthodontists in evaluating tumors and
jaw relations
Pathological enlargement of the
pituitary fossa can also be assessed with
the help of these parameters
