The craniofacial skeleton expands during adult life and previous investigations have demonstrated non-uniformity in continuing growth. This report confirms the fact that sella turcica, frontal sinus and the skull tables remodel at a rate per unit time which is twice the amount of the anterios and posterior skull diameter. The dual enlargement pattern occurs in both male and females and has been observed longitudinally from the third through the eighth decades of life. Though associations in the continuing growth process of separate anatomical parts throughout the human skeleton remain obscure, the degree to which components vary within the craniofacial system is now clearly evident.
颅面骨骼在成年期会扩张，先前的研究表明其持续生长存在不均匀性。本报告证实了蝶鞍、额窦和颅骨板以单位时间的速率进行重塑，该速率是颅骨前后直径增长速率的两倍。这种双重扩大模式在男性和女性中均会出现，并且已从生命的第三个十年到第八个十年进行了纵向观察。尽管人类骨骼中各个解剖部位在持续生长过程中的关联仍不明确，但颅面系统内各组成部分的变化程度现在已清晰可见。
