Casual disclosure of an enlargement of the sella turcica during orthodontic treatment planning

Resumo

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.
