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.
