Incidental finding of an enlarged sella turcica on a lateral cephalogram
1Department of Oral Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA 02115, USA.
Abstract:
The lateral cephalogram is a film that is routinely used in orthodontics. Orthodontists should therefore be familiar with the normal radiographic appearance of the skull as seen on the lateral cephalogram. We present a case of an enlarged sella turcica that was discovered during routine orthodontic workup. Referral and further investigation led to a diagnosis of a prolactinoma.
