Male specimens exhibited a deeper and longer sella turcica, whereas female specimens showed a wider and shallower morphology. Statistical analysis revealed that these sexual shape differences were significant (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Geometric morphometric analysis demonstrated that the sella turcica exhibits marked sex\u2010related shape variations.
