title: [Radiographic changes in the sella turcica in female patients on chronic hemodialysis].
abstract: The bone disease in chronic renal failure patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism is usually termed renal osteodystrophy. Radiographic methods have been applied in renal bone disease mainly to discover lesions on long bones, hands and fee. During the evaluation of hormonal disturbances of hemodialysed chronic renal failure female patients, roentgenograms of sella turcica were taken. Findings that were detected were most probably the consequences of renal osteodystrophy. Osteoporosis of clinoid processes posteriores and dorsum sellae and intrasellar calcifications were confirmed in 25 percent of investigated patients. Lateral view of the sellae turcica demonstrated a "double floor".These pathological findings in sella turcica region could be of practical importance because of well known anatomophysiological position of this sceletal structure.
