bstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) are characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, usually associated with sleep interruption and decreased oxyhemoglobin saturation. Cephalometric analysis has become an important method in diagnosis, reporting specific craniofacial characteristics such as posterior air pharyngeal space, tongue length and hyoid position, which may predispose some people to develop SAHOS. The purpose of this revision is to present several anatomic aspects by cephalometric analysis that may have a predisposition to the development of upper airway occlusion.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(OSAHS)的特征是睡眠期间呼吸反复暂停,通常伴有睡眠中断和氧合血红蛋白饱和度降低。头影测量分析已成为诊断的重要方法,报告特定的颅面特征,如咽后气道间隙、舌长度和舌骨位置,这些特征可能使一些人易患SAHOS。本次修订的目的是通过头影测量分析呈现几个可能易导致上气道阻塞的解剖学方面。
