Abstract
Sella turcica remodels backward and downward, and nasion moves forward because of the increase in size of the frontal sinus. These events lead to a continuous increase in the length of the cranial base until adulthood. The presphenoid and cribriform plate regions can be considered stable after age 7, making them the best cranial-base superimposition areas.
