A comparison of nasopharyngeal endoscopy and lateral cephalometric radiography in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal airway obstruction.
Two auxiliary methods of diagnosing nasopharyngeal airway obstruction were compared. Cephalometric radiography and nasopharyngeal videoendoscopy were evaluated for efficacy in terms of reproducibility and validity. Thirty orthodontic patients (7 to 12 years of age) seeking otorhinolaryngologic treatment for mouth breathing, or mouth and nose breathing, had nasopharyngeal endoscopy and radiograp...
متن کاملLateral cephalometric radiograph versus lateral nasopharyngeal radiograph for quantitative evaluation of nasopharyngeal airway space
OBJECTIVE This study compared lateral radiographs of the nasopharynx (LN) and lateral cephalometric radiographs (LC) used to assess nasopharyngeal airway space in children. MATERIAL AND METHODS One examiner measured the nasopharyngeal space of 15 oral breathing patients aged between 5 and 11 years old by using LN and LC. Both assessments were made twice with a 15-day interval in between. Inte...

متن کاملLateral Cephalometric Evaluation in Cleft Palate Patients
The aim of the study. The lateral cephalometric study in children with cleft palate was carried out to find out the cause of maxillary retrusion and to see if there were other changes induced by this entity in the maxillofacial morphology. Material and methods. Lateral cephalometric evaluation of 28 patients with un-operated cleft palate (group A), 12 patients with operated cleft palate (group ...
متن کاملAnatomically shaped cranial collimation (ACC) for lateral cephalometric radiography: a technical report
Lateral cephalograms in orthodontic practice display an area cranial of the base of the skull that is not required for diagnostic evaluation. Attempts have been made to reduce the radiation dose to the patient using collimators combining the shielding of the areas above the base of the skull and below the mandible. These so-called "wedge-shaped" collimators have not become standard equipment in...
