title: [Measurements of the sella turcica in idiopathic hypophyseal nanism].
abstract: The size of the sella turcica was measured in 66 cases of so-called idiopathic hypopituitary dwarfism, and compared to Silverman's standards. In 55 % of patients the sella was abnormally small for age, and in 45 % abnormally small for height. No significant differences were found from male to female patients nor from isolated somatotropic deficiencies to multiple tropic hormones deficiencies.
