Abstract
Histological observations of the fetal cranial base in 17 human specimens showed that the sella point was identified closely with the dorsum sellae, and occupied an intermediate position in relation to the growth sites of the spheno-occipital synchondrosis. The cancellous structure of the sphenoid bone clearly demonstrated that the pituitary fossa, and hence the sella, moved upward and backward during growth.
