Fracture of the sella turcica: a report of three cases.
Fractures of the sella turcica are rare. Recognition of fractures in this area is very important as serious immediate and delayed neurological, endocrine and vascular complications may occur. Most of these patients will develop at least one cranial nerve palsy; a significant number will develop hypopituitarism and a few will develop local vascular abnormalities.
