A member asked:

Rentgen of sella turcica was comented like this: there is prononced shadowing (darkness) in sella turcica (fosa hypophisalis). what does this mean?

I have no idea: Hi. Unfortunately, X-rays of the sella are next to worthless. All we do to investigate the pituitary anatomically is high resolution thin cut MRI with gadolinium. What is the clinical condition that made your doc try to look at the pituitary with X-ray? I hope that if there is real concern over pituitary function or question of tumor, you get an MRI. Good luck!
