Abstract
The study highlights important morphometric details about osseous bars of the sella region and the related CCF in Greek skulls. Notable differences in the incidence of these bars in Greek individuals compared with findings from other populations highlight the growing awareness of ethnic differences in skull base landmarks. Variations and surgically oriented measurements provided by this study may benefit clinicians involved in the treatment of the middle cranial fossa pathology, enriching understanding of the complicated regional anatomy. Preoperative sellar area mapping is essential, by using computed tomography images, since modification of the surgical approach may be required in cases of severe ossification.
