“…This observation was, to some extent, expected, looking at previous studies [ 26 , 39 , 78 ]. Nevertheless, some previous papers comparing measurements between different skeletal classes described the diameter of the ST as being higher in skeletal Class II compared to skeletal Class I or even found it to be the biggest among all skeletal classes [ 21 ]. On top of that, the mean ST diameter in patients with Down Syndrome was close to that of healthy individuals; however, further studies are needed to evaluate those calculations.…”

Background: This meta-analysis aimed to present data on the sella turcica (ST) morphology and variations. Furthermore, a detailed morphometric analysis of the ST was conducted. Methods: Major online databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched through. The overall search process was conducted in three stages. Results: This meta-analysis was based on the results of 18,364 patients and demonstrates the most up-to-date and relevant data regarding the morphology of the ST in the available literature. Four classification methods of the ST shape can be distinguished, in which the most commonly occurring variants are the normal ST (55.56%), the U-shaped ST (73.58%), the circular type of ST (42.29%), and non-bridging ST (55.64%). The overall midpoint height of the ST was 6.59 mm (SE = 0.13). The overall length of the ST was 9.06 mm (SE = 0.15). The overall volume of the ST was 845.80 mm3 (SE = 288.92). Four main classification methods of ST morphology can be distinguished in the available literature. Various morphometric characteristics of the ST may be applied in clinical practice to evaluate its shape, dimensions, and normal or pathological variants.
