Abstract

The importance of size and shape of the sella turcica in connection with the occurrence of symptoms of npituitary diseases has long been recognized. Present study was aimed to study normal shape of Sella turcica by radiographs. In the present study, lateral radiographs of skulls of four hundred and forty seven subjects of known age (between 13 to 55 years) and sex (two hundred and thirty seven males; two hundred and ten females) were studied. The Sella Turcica is classified into three basic shapes Oval, Round & Flat. Oval shape is most commonly found and flat least commonly found in Maharashtrian population.
