- Abstract
Objective: The aim of study is to examine correlations between the morphometric characteristics of the anatomical structures of the sellar region. Methods: Ethic approval was obtained from Gaziantep University Clinical Research Ethics Committee (decision no: 2020/377). Cone-beam computed tomography images of 50 adults (mean age: 38.44±13.08, 25 males, 25 females) in Gaziantep University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology were analyzed retrospectively with the Planmeca Romexis Viewer program. In the study, the basal angle of the skull base, the interoptic distance, and the sulcal angle and length were measured. In addition, the optic canal angle was measured on the sagittal and axial plane. Using Pearson correlation tests, direction of relationship between parameters identified. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS for Windows version 22.0 package program and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean sulcal angle and length were measured as 35.15±6.48° and 6.75±1.65 mm, respectively. The mean angle of the optic canal was 11.35±1.63° in the sagittal plane and 40.32±5.02° in the axial plane. The mean basal angle and interoptic distance were measured as 128.75±4.94° and 15.73±3.39 mm, respectively. A weak positive correlation was found between the angle of the optic canal in the axial plane and the interoptic distance (r=0.305, p=0.031), the sulcal length (r=0.316, p=0.025), and the basal angle (r=0.356, p=0.011). In addition, a strong negative correlation was found between the sulcal angle and the basal angle (r=0.376, p=0.007). Conclusion: Our data set examining the relationship between sellar region structures, may be useful for understanding the complex anatomy of the region.
