Sella turcica is a saddle-shaped concavity in the body of sphenoid bone situated in the middle cranial fossa of the skull. Sella turcica gets its name from Turkish language because of its similarity to the Turkish saddle. A saddle shaped depression in the upper surface of sphenoid bone is located between and bonded by the two anterior and two posterior clinoid processes.
