Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To measure the size and describe the morphology of sella turcica in patients with different cervical vertebral maturation (CVM). Methods: The subjects comprised 166 males and 173 females from Department of Orthodontics, West China Stomatology Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2020 to October 2021. According to CVM, they were divided into three groups: group Ⅰ (prepubertal), group Ⅱ (circumpubertal), and group Ⅲ (postpubertal). The Uceph cephalometric software was used to calculate the length, depth, and diameter of the sella turcica. In addition, the shape of the sella turcica was described as normal or with aberrations. Results: The linear measured value of sella turcica in group Ⅲ was higher than that in group Ⅱ, and that in group Ⅱ was higher than that in group Ⅰ (P<0.01). Normal sella was more common in group Ⅰ (P<0.05), and sella bridge occurred more frequently in group Ⅲ (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in linear size and shape of sella turcica between different genders (P>0.05). Conclusion: With the development and maturity of cervical vertebral, the linear size of sella turcica also increases. The occurrence of sella bridge may relate to cervical vertebral maturation.

Key words: lateral cephalogram, sella turcica, cervical vertebral maturation, growth and development
