[X-rayfilm analysis of the sinus paranasales from cleft patients (in comparison with a healthy group) (author's transl)].

UNLABELLED

A report on 301 x-rayfilms from cleft patients and 120 x-rayfilms of a control group to show the behaviour of the pneumatisation of the maxillar sinus is being given.

CONTROL GROUP

The sinus maxillares of the left side by the male and female patients are greater than of the right side. The sinus maxillares are greater by female patients than by male patients. Patients with cleft formation: The sinus maxillares by female patients are significant smaller than the sinus maxillares by the control group. No different are the sinus maxillares by the control group and male with cleft formation patients with the right-sided clefts and female patients with right-sided clefts and on bilateral clefts. The sinus maxillares are of the side of localisation smaller than of the opposite side. By clefts of the primary and secondary palate (L-A-P-clefts) are the sinuses maxillares statistically larger than by clefts of the primary palate (L-A-clefts) and by subtotally and totally clefts of the secondary palate (P-clefts).
