A bridged sella is usually an incidental finding. Calcifications of the interclinoid ligaments can, however, be seen along with calcifications of the falx in patients with basal cell nevus syndrome.

Bridged Sella
The paired anterior and posterior clinoid processes are connected by interclinoid ligaments. Calcification of the ligaments can be seen radiographically, an appearance that has been called the "bridged sella." This calcification can be complete or partial and is seen in ~5% - ~15% of the population.
