“…The mean size of ST obtained from this study was larger than that in studies done by Magat et al [ 22 ] among Turkish samples, Shrestha et al and Muhammed et al [ 13 , 14 ] among Nepalese patients, Ghaida et al [ 23 ] among Jordanian et al [ 24 ] among Iraqi. In contrast, it was smaller by 0.5–2.83 mm than those reported by Alkofide [ 10 ] in Saudi samples.…”

“…When determining if gender played differences in the size of ST, the previous literature [ 10 , 13 , 25 – 28 ] provided no significant difference in terms of all three ST dimensions. In contrast to those studies, Axelsson et al [ 18 ] and Sathyanarayana et al [ 11 ] observed that a significant difference in length of ST between females and males existed, Ghaida et al [ 23 ] conducted a study on 509 samples, found that only height of ST showed a significant difference between females and males while Magat et al [ 22 ] found that the A.P diameter was different between genders. While the current study result revealed that the significant difference was in the interaction between age and gender related to the length of ST, pre-pubertal female subjects were with shorter ST length than pre-pubertal males.…”

Objective This study aimed to evaluate and compare sizes, shapes and bridging of the sella turcica (ST) in Yemeni individuals with different skeletal patterns, genders, and ages, and to assess the association between the linear dimension of ST and gender, age, or skeletal patterns. The standard anatomical structure of ST among Yemeni subjects is still unknown and this study can be considered as the first reference regarding ST of Yemeni individuals. Materials and methods Cephalogram images for 234 subjects (167 females and 67 males) were traced and classified for groups by gender, age, and dentofacial skeletal patterns. Size, shape, and bridging of ST were assessed. Multivariate ANOVA (MANOVA) analysis was used to detect the interaction between gender, age, and skeletal patterns on ST dimensions. Results The mean values for length, anteroposterior diameter, and depth of ST were 8.02 ± 1.67, 11.37 ± 1.60, and 8.56 ± 1.26 mm, respectively. A significant difference in length of ST between gender and age stages ( p < 0.05) was detected while older subjects revealed a greater anteroposterior diameter than younger subjects ( p < 0.05). The morphological variations of ST were observed in 55.6% of samples. No significant association between the shape of ST and skeletal patterns ( p > 0.05) was found. Conclusions ST bridging was highly prevalent in Yemeni subjects (35.9%). Samples showed a higher rate of complete ST bridging in the three skeletal patterns, Class I (17.1%), Class II (18.9%), and Class III (20%). ST dimensions and shape findings in this study can be used as reference standards for further investigation, including the ST area in the Yemeni population.

“…In a study conducted with southern Indian subjects, it was stated that the length of the sella turcica in males and females was also different [34]. In a recent study on 509 lateral cephalometric radiographs in a Jordanian population, it was found that all parameters, except for the height, showed significant differences between male and female [2].…”

A paleopathological case of pituitary tumor, Eagle's syndrome and ossifying fibroma AbstrActThe salvage excavation in Mafraq region in Jordan uncovered a Byzantine female skull that died at an age of 18-25 years old. The visual and x-ray examination revealed diagnoses of pituitary adenoma, Eagle's syndrome, and maxillary ossifying fibroma. In addition, the case suffered a very poor oral health; dental caries, abscesses, and periodontal disease.
