Abstract

Objective: Evaluation of the presence of nasal septal deviation in patients presenting with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

Method: Patients diagnosed with OSA using polysomnography were further evaluated radiographically for the presence of nasal septal deviation, maxillary sinus septa, and oropharyngeal airway volume using CBCT.

Results: Nasal deviation was present in all the patients and was classified according to Negus et al classification, further categorized with Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) score, maxillary sinus septa in those patients were classified according to Al Faraj et al, and the oropharyngeal airway volume was found to be an average of 10,086.37 ± 3966.116 mm² airway volume.

Conclusion: All the patients in the study had nasal septal deviation, hence it can be considered as a radiographic marker in suspecting OSA.

锥束计算机断层扫描评价阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者鼻偏位的存在。

目的：应用锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）评价阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）患者鼻中隔偏曲的存在。方法：对经多导睡眠图诊断为OSA的患者，采用CBCT进一步评估鼻中隔偏曲、上颌窦间隔、口咽气道容积的影像学表现。结果：所有患者均存在鼻偏位，按照Negus等分类，再按照呼吸暂停低通气指数（AHI）评分进行分类，上颌窦间隔按照al Faraj等分类，口咽气道容积平均为10086.37±3966.116 mm2。结论：本组患者均有鼻中隔偏曲，可作为怀疑OSA的影像学标志。

期刊介绍： CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians. CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest. CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
