Mandibular lengthening by distraction was performed in a 6-year-old tracheostomy-dependent Treacher-Collins syndrome patient. Detailed preoperative imaging revealed an occluded retrotongue base pharyngeal airway, which, following mandibular distraction, became patent and permitted tracheostomy removal. Mandibular distraction as a technique must be targeted toward clinical problems--management of upper-airway obstruction may be one such scenario.
对一名6岁的依赖气管切开术的特雷彻-柯林斯综合征患者进行了牵张成骨下颌延长术。详细的术前影像学检查显示舌根后咽部气道闭塞，下颌牵张后气道通畅，从而可以拔除气管切开套管。下颌牵张术必须针对临床问题——上气道梗阻的处理可能就是这样一种情况。
