Summary
The authors report the CT scan findings in a case of sellar spine. This osseous spine which arises in the midline of the anterior aspect of the dorsum sellae and is directed toward the center of the sella turcica has already been described on specimens and on plain films but never on CT scans. The CT scan findings confirm the normal appearance of the surrounding structures.
