Casual disclosure of an enlargement of the sella turcica during orthodontic treatment planning
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2010, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Systemic disorders may be identified during dental care provision at oral and maxillofacial radiographs. We present a casual disclosure of an abnormal enlarged sella turcica with erosion of posterior clinoid process in an asymptomatic 32-year-old female. Although the diagnosis remains undetermined because no follow-up information was obtained from the referring clinician, possible options are discussed. The orthodontists and general practitioners must pay special attention when analyzing dental and maxillofacial images.
