Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate 3-dimensional (3D) airway volume in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) using computed tomography (CT). The study population comprised 15 UCLP patients (UCLP group) scheduled to receive alveolar bone grafts and 15 with impacted teeth (control group). The clinical requirements for a CT scan were met in both groups. Measurements were recorded from 3D reconstructions of Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine data obtained from the CT images. Airway volume, cross-sectional area, and linear and angular measurements were recorded. Airway volume and cross-sectional area showed no significant difference between the two groups. The narrowest section of the airway in the UCLP group was tighter than that in the control group, however (p=0.017). The results of this study suggest that this difference in the measurements of the narrowest section of the airway is involved in the particular maxillofacial morphology found in UCLP patients.

单侧唇腭裂患者咽部气道三维测量。

本研究的目的是利用计算机断层扫描(CT)研究单侧唇腭裂(UCLP)患者的三维(3D)气道容积。研究人群包括15例计划行牙槽骨移植的UCLP患者(UCLP组)和15例阻生牙(对照组)。两组患者均满足CT扫描的临床要求。从CT图像中获得的数字成像和医学通信数据的三维重建记录了测量结果。记录气道容积、横截面积、线性和角度测量。两组间气道体积、横截面积差异无统计学意义。但UCLP组气道最窄段较对照组更紧(p=0.017)。本研究的结果表明，在UCLP患者中发现的特殊颌面形态中，气道最窄部分测量的差异涉及。
