Three-dimensional assessment of airway volumes in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate

Abstract Background Considering the adverse consequences of respiratory insufficiency in cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients, this study aimed to assess the pharyngeal airway dimensions in 9–12-year-old patients with unilateral CLP. This historical cohort evaluated the cone-beam computed tomography...

This historical cohort evaluated the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 30 patients with non-syndromic unilateral CLP between 9 and 12 years and 30 age- and sex-matched non-cleft controls. Three-dimensional (3D) images were reconstructed by the Mimics software, and the nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and total airway volumes, as well as the minimal cross-sectional area of the airway (minAx), and posterior airway length (PAL) were all measured in the sagittal plane. Data were analyzed by the Student’s t test. Results The oropharyngeal and the total airway volumes, as well as the minAx and PAL in CLP patients, were significantly smaller than the corresponding values in the control group (P < 0.05). Despite smaller nasopharyngeal airway volume in CLP patients than controls, this difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusions Nine- to twelve-year-old non-syndromic unilateral CLP patients have smaller pharyngeal airway dimensions than non-cleft controls, and are therefore at higher risk of respiratory insufficiency.Bita KiaeeLudovica NucciFarzin SarkaratAhmad Reza TalaeipourSara EslamiFaezeh AmiriAbdolreza JamilianSpringerOpenarticleCleft lip and palateNasopharyngeal spacePharynxAirway volumeCone-beam computed tomographyDentistryRK1-715ENProgress in Orthodontics, Vol 22, Iss 1, Pp 1-9 (2021)
