The article aims at studying the correlation between the linear dimensions of sella and linear and angular parameters of a cranial depending on the basilar angle. The study is based on examination of 100 skulls of adult humans, divided into three craniotypes. Using the method сraniotopometrics the authors estimated these parameters with further calculation of average values and design of a correlation model. The study of the correlation characteristics of the linear parameters of the turkish saddle, with linear and angular parameters of the cranial showed various strength and direction of interrelation of each craniotype. The study found that multidirectional close correlation level of the studied parameters is most oftenly observed in platibasilar craniotypes, in flexibasilar craniotypes strong direct relationship exists in the length and width of the sella, the relationship between the parame-ters of mediobasilar craniotypes is predominantly of moderate and slight degree. Other sizes of sella are subject to broader variability.
