The posterior clinoids and the floor of the sella were eroded, and the suprasellar portion had a rim of calcification.
This gland, also termed the hypophysis cerebri, lies in a bony cavity, the sella turcica , so called because it was thought to resemble a Turkish saddle.
Behind the dorsum sellae is a shallow depression, the clivus, which slopes obliquely backward, and is continuous with the groove on the basioccipital (basilar portion of the occipital bone).
The superior part of the dorsum sellae may be a separate bone or it may be joined to the petrous portion of the temporal bone.
The basisphenoid bears a deep, central depression at this point called the sella turcica or pituitary fossa.
