Morphological modifications are a potential mechanism for functional species and phylogenetic diversification. The sella turcica in mammals is a structure associated with the basisphenoid bone and serves as the receptacle for the pituitary gland; how...
Objective: The Ki-67 index is an indicator of the active proliferation and aggressive behavior of pituitary adenomas (PAs). Appropriate pre- and intra-operatives of the Ki-67 index can help surgeons develop better and more personalized treatment stra...
Sella turcica abnormalities were reported in malocclusions and clefts. No studies were found on sella turcica abnormalities in CPO patients. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of sella turcica abnormalities on cephalometric radiographs in CPO...
This study aimed to compare the sella turcica dimensions and sella turcica bridging (STB) via cone-beam computed tomography in different vertical patterns and then analyze the link between the sella turcica and vertical growth patterns. The CBCT imag...
Evaluation of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors remains complex depending on the exact growth pattern, involvement of critical neurovascular structures, pituitary function and endocrinological activity of the tumor. A predominant growth into the spheno...
Craniopharyngiomas (CPs) are Rathke’s cleft-derived benign tumors originating most commonly in the dorsum sellae and representing 2% of intracranial neoplasms. CPs represent one of the more complex intracranial tumors due to their invasive natu...
