Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the volumetric airway changes using three-dimensional images following unilateral vertical mandibular distraction osteogenesis (uVMD) among patients with hemifacial microsomia (HFM).
Design: This retrospective study analyzed cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of patients with HFM at three different timepoints; pretreatment (T0), posttreatment (T1), and at least 6 months post-distraction (T2). The individuals underwent uVMD between December 2018-Januaray 2021. The nasopharyngeal (NP) volume, oropharyngeal (OP) volume, and the area of maximum constriction (MC) were measured. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare the airway volumes between T0-T1, T1-T2, and T0-T2.
Results: Five patients met the inclusion criteria (mean age = 10.4 years; 1 female, 4 males). Intraclass correlation analysis showed excellent interrater reliability (r > .86, P < .001). Posttreatment, the OP airway volume exhibited a significant mean increase of 56% (P = .043) from T0 to T1, but decreased from T1-T2 by 13%. Likewise, the total airway volume presented with a significant mean increase of 48% between T0-T1 (P = .044), and a decrease of 7% from T1-T2. The changes in the NP airway volume and area of MC were not statistically significant (P>.05), but an increase in the mean values were observed.
Conclusion: Surgical intervention with uVMD may significantly increase the OP airway volume and the total airway volume among patients with HFM immediately after distraction. However, the statistical significance diminished after six months post-consolidation, but the mean percent change may remain of clinical significance. The NP volume did not seem to show significant changes in response to uVMD.
