The morphology of the Sella Turcica is important both as a reference in cephalometric studies and in the pituitary gland, internal carotid artery and cavernous sinus surgical boarding. The present report describes a case of partial ossification of the sella turcica walls in a dry skull of 40-year-old Brazilian individual. We analyze the morphometric characteristics of the región.
