Ontogenesis of the Sella Turcica among Egyptians: Forensic and Radiological Study

The sella turcica has gained importance as a stable bony landmark in cephalometric studies. This study explored the changes that accompany postnatal ontogeny of until full development and verifijied its contribution age estimation sexual assignment among Egyptians. Six selected measurements 215 Egyptian patients were assessed using multidetector computed tomography. represented diffferent ages referred to Diagnostic Interventional Radiological Department, Faculty Medicine, Alexandria University. gathered data then subjected statistical analysis, including correlation regression analysis. showed strong with age. Three demonstrated signifijicant dimorphism: width anterior median height subjects 20–25 years old. equations derived. accuracy achieved by combined parameters younger group (<25 old) was higher than older individuals. provides useful tools determination sex both forensic bioarcheological disciplines. However, further studies concerning shape are strongly suggested.
