背景头影测量可作为阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（OSAS）患者解剖异常的筛查试验。Objective.目的全面评价OSAS患儿的头影测量特征，探讨其与呼吸暂停低通气指数（AHI）严重程度的关系。材料和方法。研究人群包括39名4-12岁的OSAS儿童。头影测量分析使用11个测量的骨性结构，它们的关系和大小的气道。此外，对腺样体和扁桃体肥大进行分级。结果颅底角（BaSN和BaSPNS）与AHI评分水平的增加相关（P0.05）。下颌平面长度（GnGo）和最小气道后间隙（MPAS）与AHI评分呈负相关（P
Background. Cephalometry is useful as a screening test for anatomical abnormalities in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). Objective. To evaluate comprehensively the cephalo metric features of children with OSAS, with or without adenotonsillar hypertrophy, and to elucidate the relationship between cephalometric variables and apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) severity. Materials and methods. The study population consisted of 39 children, aged 4-12 years, with OSAS. Cephalometry was analysed using 11 measurements of the bony structures, their relationships and the size of the airways. Additionally, adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy were graded. Results. Cranial base angles (BaSN and BaSPNS) were found to correlate with increasing levels of AHI scores (P0.05). The length of the mandibular plane (GnGo) and the minimal posterior airway space (MPAS) were inversely correlated with AHI scores (P
