| Abstract |
| The purpose of the study was to describe and compare shape and dimensions of Sella turcica in cleft and non-cleft palate subjects. Cone beam computed tomography of 80 individuals (40 normal and 40 cleft) with age range 12-30 years were collected and analyzed. The linear measurements of length, depth and diameter were measured and comparison between both groups was done. The results show that the Sella turcica was normally appeared in majority of subjects 61.5% in non-cleft subjects while in cleft group was 40%, the oblique anterior wall in non-cleft found to be 19% and in cleft was 17%. Regarding notching in posterior wall was found 9% in non-cleft and 14% in cleft group, bridging was found to be 7% in non-cleft group and 16% in cleft group. In non-cleft group pyramidal Sella turcica was 3.5% while in cleft double contour of the floor was seen in 13%. For linear measurements length, depth, and diameter of Sella turcica showed no significant differences between non cleft and cleft groups. On comparing different cleft groups to each other there was only a significant increase in length for unilateral right complete cleft palate compared to other groups. No significance differences were found in comparing volume of Sella turcica between non cleft and cleft groups. |
