Measurements were classified both in terms of gender, and age groups. Sella turcica types were analysed according to the two classification methods performed by Meyer Marcotti et al., and Axelsson et al. <br />Results: Significant differences were found between gender and sella turcica types according to Axelsson et al’s classification method. Furthermore, the sella turcica bridging type in males and variation combination type in females were no found. On the other hand, there were no considerable differences between sella turcica types and age groups according to Axelsson et al’s classification; whereas, the significant difference was found between age groups and sella turcica types according to Meyer Marcotti et al’s classification. <br />Conclusion: The data obtained in our study will shed light on monitorize of growth of individual by enabling determination of the sella turcica types in various diseases and different age groups, and the knowledge of the anatomic variations for sella turcica typology of Turkish population.  <br /> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Çukurova Üniversitesi}, organization={Çukurova Üniversitesi Bilimsel Araştırma Projeler Birimi}
