[Oradlist] Sell turcica, again

[Johan Aps]

Dear Allan, 

To me this sella turcica seems "within the normal" appearances on a ceph.
It is still a 2D image, don't forget. Looking at this image, one can see the head was tilted a bit; the midsagittal plane was not 100% perpendicular to the floor. This might explain the rather small looking "saddle".

Kind regards from Belgium,

Johan

  Hello Everyone,

  Again talking about the sella turcica, but now it has very small dimensions. The patiente is a girl, 17 years-old. 
  The patient was referred for cefalometric study.

  What is your opinion? Thank you.
