Sella turcica is a very important anatomic structure for the determination of sella point during the orthodontic evaluation of lateral cephalometric radiographs. The development, changes and pathologies in dimensions and morphology of this important structure are associated with different anomalies and syndromes in literature. For this reason, the detailed analysis of this region in lateral cephalometric radiographs can play a key role in early diagnosis of some diseases. The aim of this review is to evaluate the anatomy and dimensions of sella turcica, how to determine and classify its morphologic and dimensional variations and the pathologies related to this region in orthodontic literature.

Sella
tursika, ortodontik değerlendirmeler sırasında lateral sefalometrik filmlerden
sella noktasının tespiti nedeniyle oldukça önemli bir anatomik yapıdır. Bu
önemli yapının gelişimi, boyutlarındaki ve morfolojisin- deki değişiklikler ve patolojiler, literatürde çok farklı
anomaliler ve sendromlarla ilişkilendirilmiştir. Bu nedenle, lateral
sefalometrik filmlerde bu bölgenin detaylı analizi, bazı hastalıkların erken
dönemde teşhi- sinde kilit rol
oynayabilir. Bu derlemenin amacı, sella tursika bölgesinin normal anatomisi ve
boyutları ile; morfolojik ve boyutsal varyasyonlarının nasıl tespit edildiğini
ve sınıflandırıldığını gözden geçirmek ve ortodonti literatüründe bu bölgeyle
ilişkilendirilen patolojileri irdelemektir.
