Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the abnormality of the craniofacial and upper airway structure in adults with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS).Methods:The craniofacial skeletal and upper airway morphology of 31 male adult patients with OSAS was measured by cephalometry and compared with that of a control group consisting of 16 male asymptom adults. Results:The significant aberrations in the OSAS group were: relative increased ANB and NA/PA(P
