dimensional and volumetric analysis of the oropharyngeal region in obstructive sleep apnea patients: a cone beam computed tomography study
objectives: obstructive sleep apnoea (osa) is a potentially life‑threatening condition in which there is a periodic cessation of breathing (for 10 sec or longer) that occurs during sleep in the presence of inspiratory effort. the aim of the study was to assess volumetric and dimensional differences between osa patients and normal individuals in the upright posture. material and method: the pres...
متن کاملApert Syndrome with Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Case Report
Apert syndrome is a rare kind of craniosynostosis which is identified with fusion of cranial sutures during prematurity period and causes physical and intellectual disorders in younger ages. These patients may show symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea due to abnormal craniofacial shape. This article introduces a patient with Apert syndrome, with apnea symptoms, cyanosis, snoring, restlessness, n...
متن کامل[Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome].
This is an overview for the non-specialist of the pathophysiology, workup and treatment of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The mechanisms leading to upper airway closure during sleep are discussed, as well as the current theoretical and experimental concepts for the apnea-induced arousal response and the consequent changes in sleep architecture and quality. Epidemiological data are summar...
متن کاملHomocysteine levels and echocardiographic findings in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
BACKGROUND The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by repeated upper airway obstruction during sleep together with decreases in oxygen saturation leading to a series of pathological events, primarily in the cardiovascular system. Elevated plasma homocysteine levels have recently been considered as an independent risk factor for vascular disease, and increased levels are att...
متن کاملSleep obstructive apnea syndrome consequences.
Many paleontologists believe that between 200 and 300 thousand years ago, human ancestors started to suffer their most important anatomical change: the transformation of the upper airways. Such change included facial shortening, foramen magnus anteriorization, angle reduction between the horizontal and vertical portions of the upper airway, and especially larynx descending. This new configurati...
