Abstract

Purpose: This radiologic work aimed to display the alteration in the hyoid bone (HB) morphology in the pediatric population with advancing age.

Methods: This pediatric examination consisted of computed tomography images of 129 subjects (49 males / 80 females) aged 1-17 years.

Results: The anterior-posterior length of HB, the lengths of right and left greater horns, the width and height of HB's body, and the distance between the midpoints of the posterior ends of the greater horns increased with advancing age (p < 0.001), but the angle of the right and left greater horns (p = 0.022) decreased. Four configurations regarding HB shape were observed: Type A (U-shaped HB) in 8.5% (11 HBs) out of 129 children, Type B (B-shaped HB) in 33.3% (43 HBs), Type C (D-shaped HB) in 45% (58 HBs), and Type D (V-shaped HB) in 13.2% (17 HBs). HB shape types correlated with the pediatric age (p < 0.001), but not gender (p = 0.153).

Conclusions: Most of the parameters increased until the postpubescent period, but the angle of the right and left greater horns decreased after the late childhood. Our linear functions representing the growth pattern of HB in children may be useful to estimate HB size.

儿童舌骨形态随年龄的变化。

目的：这项放射学研究旨在显示儿童随着年龄增长舌骨（HB）形态的变化：本次儿科检查包括 129 名 1-17 岁儿童（49 名男性/80 名女性）的计算机断层扫描图像：结果：随着年龄的增长，HB 的前后长度、左右大角的长度、HB 主体的宽度和高度以及大角后端中点之间的距离都在增加（p 结论：大部分参数都是随着年龄的增长而增加的：大部分参数在青春期后之前都在增加，但左右大角的角度在童年晚期后有所减少。我们的线性函数代表了儿童 HB 的生长模式，可能有助于估计 HB 的大小。

期刊介绍： Anatomy is a morphological science which cannot fail to interest the clinician. The practical application of anatomical research to clinical problems necessitates special adaptation and selectivity in choosing from numerous international works. Although there is a tendency to believe that meaningful advances in anatomy are unlikely, constant revision is necessary. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, the first international journal of Clinical anatomy has been created in this spirit. Its goal is to serve clinicians, regardless of speciality-physicians, surgeons, radiologists or other specialists-as an indispensable aid with which they can improve their knowledge of anatomy. Each issue includes: Original papers, review articles, articles on the anatomical bases of medical, surgical and radiological techniques, articles of normal radiologic anatomy, brief reviews of anatomical publications of clinical interest. Particular attention is given to high quality illustrations, which are indispensable for a better understanding of anatomical problems. Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy is a journal written by anatomists for clinicians with a special interest in anatomy.
