目的：探讨口呼吸儿童是否存在与阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(OSAS)患者相同的头影测量模式。方法：在头颅正侧位X线片上追踪测量头影测量变量。对52例口呼吸和90例鼻呼吸的儿童进行了头影测量，并与窒息患儿进行了比较。这些儿童没有行腺样体切除术或扁桃体切除术，也没有或没有接受过正畸或矫形治疗。结果：口呼吸的儿童表现出与OSAS患者相同的头影测量模式：有下颌后缩的趋势(p=0.05)，以及下颌和咬合面的更大倾斜度(p=0.05)。
Objective: To determine whether mouth breathing children present the same cephalometric patterns as patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Method: Cephalometric variables were traced and measured on vertical lateral cephalometric radiographs. The cephalometric measurements of 52 mouth and 90 nose breathing children were compared with apneic patients. The children had not undergone adenoidectomy or tonsillectomy and had not had or were not receiving orthodontic or orthopedic treatment. Results: Mouth breathing children showed same cephalometric pattern observed in patients with OSAS: a tendency to have a retruded mandible (p=0.05), along with greater inclination of the mandibular and occlusal planes (p
