The purpose of this article is to present radiographic aspects of obstructive anatomical alterations of the upper airway before and during sleep in a 4 1/2-year-old boy affected with pycnodysostosis. The striking length of the uvula and the inspiration-exspiration changes in its position was an important factor in the obstruction of the upper airway. For better and earlier understanding of the actual mechanism of upper airway obstruction, the radiological data should be obtained during the same circumstances that the patient is experiencing his maximum discomfort.
本文旨在呈现一名患有致密性骨发育不全的4岁半男孩在睡眠前和睡眠期间上呼吸道阻塞性解剖改变的影像学特征。悬雍垂显著的长度及其在吸气和呼气时位置的变化是上呼吸道阻塞的一个重要因素。为了更好、更早地理解上呼吸道阻塞的实际机制，应在患者经历最大不适的相同情况下获取放射学数据。
