This meta-analysis aimed to present data on the sella turcica (ST) morphology and variations. Furthermore, a detailed morphometric analysis of the ST was conducted.
Major online databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched through. The overall search process was conducted in three stages.
This meta-analysis was based on the results of 18,364 patients and demonstrates the most up-to-date and relevant data regarding the morphology of the ST in the available literature. Four classification methods of the ST shape can be distinguished, in which the most commonly occurring variants are the normal ST (55.56%), the U-shaped ST (73.58%), the circular type of ST (42.29%), and non-bridging ST (55.64%). The overall midpoint height of the ST was 6.59 mm (SE = 0.13). The overall length of the ST was 9.06 mm (SE = 0.15). The overall volume of the ST was 845.80 mm (SE = 288.92). Four main classification methods of ST morphology can be distinguished in the available literature. Various morphometric characteristics of the ST may be applied in clinical practice to evaluate its shape, dimensions, and normal or pathological variants.
本荟萃分析旨在呈现蝶鞍形态及变异的数据。此外，还对蝶鞍进行了详细的形态计量学分析。
检索了PubMed、Scopus、Embase、Web of Science和Cochrane图书馆等主要在线数据库。整个检索过程分三个阶段进行。
本荟萃分析基于18364例患者的结果，展示了现有文献中关于蝶鞍形态的最新且相关的数据。蝶鞍形状有四种分类方法，其中最常见的变异类型为正常蝶鞍（55.56%）、U形蝶鞍（73.58%）、圆形蝶鞍（42.29%）和非桥接型蝶鞍（55.64%）。蝶鞍的总体中点高度为6.59毫米（标准误=0.13）。蝶鞍的总长度为9.06毫米（标准误=0.15）。蝶鞍的总体积为845.80立方毫米（标准误=288.92）。现有文献中可区分出蝶鞍形态的四种主要分类方法。蝶鞍的各种形态计量学特征可应用于临床实践，以评估其形状、尺寸以及正常或病理变异。
