Abstract
Objective: This study was performed to determine the dimensions of the sella turcica (ST) in relation to sex, age groups, and sphenoid sinus (SS) pneumatization patterns in a cohort of Iraqi individuals.
Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed computed tomography images of 99 individuals (53 men, 46 women) aged 24 to 59 years to measure ST dimensions, including length, width, height, depth, and surface area. SS pneumatization was classified by sex and age. We also examined the relationship between ST size and SS pneumatization patterns.
Results: Women exhibited a significantly greater mean ST depth (9.37 mm) than men (8.19 mm). The ST diameter was significantly larger in the middle-aged group (13.1 mm) than in the young adult group (11.83 mm). The ST area showed a highly significant difference between sexes. The sellar pneumatization pattern was the most common, whereas the conchal pattern had the lowest prevalence. A significant correlation was observed between ST size and SS pneumatization.
Conclusion: The ST depth and diameter showed statistically significant differences across sex and age groups, respectively. The variability in SS pneumatization patterns underscores the importance of considering pneumatization types during surgical planning to minimize the risk of iatrogenic injury and improve treatment outcomes.
研究目的本研究旨在确定一组伊拉克人的蝶窦（ST）尺寸与性别、年龄组和蝶窦气化模式的关系：这项横断面研究分析了 99 名 24 至 59 岁患者（53 名男性，46 名女性）的计算机断层扫描图像，以测量 ST 的尺寸，包括长度、宽度、高度、深度和表面积。SS气化情况按性别和年龄进行了分类。我们还研究了 ST 尺寸与 SS 充气模式之间的关系：结果：女性的 ST 平均深度（9.37 毫米）明显大于男性（8.19 毫米）。中年组的 ST 直径（13.1 毫米）明显大于青年组（11.83 毫米）。ST 面积在性别上有非常明显的差异。蝶骨气化模式最常见，而海螺模式的发病率最低。ST大小与SS气化之间存在明显的相关性：结论：不同性别和年龄组的 ST 深度和直径分别存在显著的统计学差异。结论：ST深度和直径在不同性别和年龄组中分别显示出统计学上的显著差异。SS气化模式的变异强调了在手术规划中考虑气化类型的重要性，以最大限度地降低先天性损伤的风险并改善治疗效果。
