颈围及舌高和舌宽对阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征的影响

目的：探讨阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征（OSAHS）与颈围、舌高和舌宽的关系。方法：对33例OSAHS患者（OSAHS组）进行颈围、舌高及舌宽的测量，并与33例正常健康者（正常对照组）进行比较。结果：OSAHS组的颈围、舌高（经X线碘油造影摄片）和舌宽分别与正常对照组比较，差异均有统计学意义（分别P〈0．05和P〈0．01）。结论：颈围、舌高及舌宽在OSAHS的发病中起重要作用。

The effect of cervical circumference,lingual height and lingual width on the obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relation between the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and the metrical value of the patient's cervical circumference, lingual height and lingual width. METHOD: The clinical and radiographic data of 33 (OSAHS) patients were retrospectively analyzed, the value of cervical circumference was direct manual measurement, the value of lingual height, lingual width was indirect measured through X-ray radiography of Iodic oil, and selected 33 normal adult as control group. RESULT: The mean of cervical circumference, lingual height and lingual width of OSAHS group have significant difference to normal control group respectively, the value of OSAHS group remarkably higher than control group. CONCLUSION: Cervical circumference, lingual height and lingual width make important effect on pathogenesis of OSAHS.
