Investigation of the relationship between facial asymmetry and thoracic spine deviation
Objectives
Previous studies have linked facial asymmetry to scoliosis, but the relationship with thoracic vertebral deviation is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between facial asymmetry and thoracic spinal deviation.
Methods
This retrospective study analyzed 92 Japanese women who underwent computed tomography (CT) and plain chest X-rays for oral surgery. Cephalometric radiographs were reconstructed from CT data using SIMPLANT. Patients were categorized into symmetric and asymmetric groups based on a 2.5° deviation from the maxillomandibular (Mx-Md) midline angle. Thoracic deviation (DTh) was measured on chest X-rays, and Cobb angles were determined using the Cobb method. Multiple regression analysis explored the relationship between thoracic spine deviation and cephalometric parameters. Unpaired t-tests compared thoracic vertebrae measurements between the groups.
Results
Significant associations were observed between DTh and several cephalometric parameters, including the Mx-Md midline angle (p = 0.011) and occlusal cant (p = 0.017) from frontal cephalometry, as well as the odontoid triangle angle and mandibular length (Co-Gn) from lateral cephalometry (R² = 0.18, p = 0.002). No significant association was found between cephalometric parameters and the Cobb angle. Of the 92 patients, 49 and 43 were included in the symmetric and asymmetric groups, respectively. The asymmetric group exhibited significantly larger thoracic deviation (p < 0.001), though no difference was observed in Cobb angle.
Conclusion
The findings suggest a relationship between facial asymmetry and thoracic vertebral deviation but no significant link with scoliosis.
