Objective:
To investigate the relation between the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and the metrical value of the patient's cervical circumference, lingual height and lingual width.
Method:
The clinical and radiographic data of 33 (OSAHS) patients were retrospectively analyzed, the value of cervical circumference was direct manual measurement, the value of lingual height, lingual width was indirect measured through X-ray radiography of Iodic oil, and selected 33 normal adult as control group.
Result:
The mean of cervical circumference, lingual height and lingual width of OSAHS group have significant difference to normal control group respectively, the value of OSAHS group remarkably higher than control group.
