The sella turcica is located in the middle cranial fossa and contains the Pituitary fossa, in which the Pituitary gland is located. Pituitary adenomas tend to enlarge the sella turcica[^1].
Anatomy
Anteriorly, the sella turcica is bounded by the Tuberculum sellae and posteriorly by the Dorsum sellae. The sella turcica is covered by the Diaphragma sellae.
