“…In our study, in agreement with the results of Harun et al's 42 study, the hyoid bone was generally seen in the C3 and C4 level position in the non-OSA and OSA groups. In these two groups of patients, patients with the hyoid bone located at the C3 level were predominant.…”

“…In another study conducted in the Chinese paediatric population, lower hyoid bone position according to the mandibular plane was found to be associated with the presence of moderate to severe OSA and this finding indicates the hyoid bone is a potential anatomic marker in OSA patients. 41 In a study by Harun et al 42 in Malaysia using CT data, it was found that the hyoid bone in adults (C3-C4) was at lower position than children (C2) compared to the cervical vertebra. Lowering the hyolaryngeal complex is important in terms of deglutition in adulthood.…”

Objective We aimed to find morphological properties of the hyoid bone, which are predominant among the patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), and compare them with healthy individuals. Methods A total of 67 cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) image sequences of patients (44 males, 23 females) diagnosed with OSA and a total of 70 multislice computed tomography (MSCT) data of non‐OSA patients (45 males, 25 females) were selected in this study. DICOM images were imported into InVivo 5.1.2 (Anatomage) software. The position of the hyoid bone relative to the C3 and C4 cervical vertebrae, as well as its morphological type (B, V, U, H, D, HK‐type) and its total volume was determined. Results The volumetric values of the hyoid bone of OSA patients (2384.49 ± 682.073 mm3) were significantly (P < .001) lower compared to the values derived from non‐OSA patients (2952.96 ± 932.5 mm3). The difference was independent of gender, and volumetric values showed a strong significant (P < .01) difference between male OSA and non‐OSA (2709.18 ± 608.05; 3157.87 ± 926.5 mm3) and female OSA and non‐OSA patients (1763 ± 242.51 2584; 2584.12 ± 840.21 mm3), as well. In the case of B and V‐types, the volumetric values showed significant differences (P < .05), when the OSA (2300,77 ± 622; 2166 ± 312 mm3) and non‐OSA patients were compared (2823,48 ± 780; 3216 ± 463 mm3). Conclusion Our results suggest that the volume of the hyoid bone might be a potential biological marker for OSA, especially in the case of B and V hyoid bone types.

“…Throughout the course of the human lifespan, the hyoid bone descends with the hyoid body ultimately fusing with the greater cornua, although the timing and extent of fusion vary among individuals (Devlin, 2002; Fisher et al, 2016; Ha et al, 2013; O'Halloran & Lundy, 1987). Deviations in the placement of the hyoid bone relative to other functionally related structures can have ramifications on one or more of the aerodigestive and vocal tract functions (Harun, Zainul et al, 2007; Kanetaka, Shimizu, Kano, & Kikuchi, 2011; Vieira et al, 2014). However, quantitative knowledge regarding the growth of the hyoid bone (Okasi, Sadeghian, Behnoush, & Shakori Rad, 2018; Vohra & Kulkarni, 2017) and knowledge of its growth in relation to functionally related structures, such as the mandible and larynx, is limited (Feng et al, 2014; Mitani & Sato, 1992).…”

“…Though hyoid bone fusion is typically absent prior to age 20, it does not occur in everyone during older adulthood, for unknown reasons (Fisher et al, 2016; Ichijo et al, 2016). While the sex‐specific timing of hyoid bone fusion and hyoid bone density has been explored across the lifespan (e.g., Fisher et al, 2016), knowledge on the three‐dimensional (3D) growth of the hyoid body and its greater cornua, particularly during early childhood, is scant (Harun et al, 2007; Sameera & Rao, 2019; Sheng et al, 2009; Vohra & Kulkarni, 2017). Also, although the hyoid bone responds to surgical intervention of mandibular deformities by adapting to the mandible's new placement (Kamano, Terajima, Kitahara, & Takahashi, 2017), given its functional relationship to the mandible as mediated by their attachments to the tongue, knowledge on how the position of the hyoid bone relative to the mandible changes across typical development is limited (Ichijo et al, 2016; Mitani & Sato, 1992; Okasi et al, 2018).…”

The hyoid bone and the hyomandibular complex subserve the functions of respiration, deglutition, and speech. This study quantified the growth of the hyoid bone and the hyomandibular relationships in males and females from birth to 19 years. Using 97 computed tomography (CT) scans, from a previous study (Kelly et al., 2017) on mandibular growth from 49 individuals (16 with longitudinal scans), landmarks were placed on 3D CT models and used to calculate four distance, and three angular measurements. A general increase in growth trend was observed in hyoid bone linear measurements—length, width, and depth—as well as relational mandible‐to‐hyoid distance, throughout the developmental ages examined in both males and females, with most variables having larger measurements for females up to age 10 years. A general decrease in all three angular measurements was observed in both males and females up to approximately age 12 years, at which time male angular measurements gradually increased with significant sexual dimorphism emerging after age 15 years. As expected, postpubertal males had greater hyoid angle than females; they also had greater hyoid angle of inclination than mandible body inclination (with inclination relative to the anterior–posterior nasal plane), likely related to hyo‐laryngeal descent. This study contributes to normative data on hyoid bone and hyomandibular relational growth in typically developing individuals and provides a baseline against which structural and functional influences on anatomic growth may be examined by clinical disciplines that address the aerodigestive and speech functions, as well as the fields of anatomy, forensics, and anthropology.

“…In our study on 200 patients, morphologic changes determined in 23 (11.5%) cases and exceptions associated with ossification determined in 9 (4.5%) cases. Reported studies have already shown; there are no differences in hardening by gender, but it increases by increasing age and continues between 21 and 30 years of age 17 . Gupta et al 18 have observed that ossification completes five years earlier in females, and calcification of entire bones completes after 60 years old.…”

The hyoid is a U shaped bone with a backward concavity. Locates at the lower edge of the mandible and lies parallel to the floor — functions as an attachment point for muscles and soft tissues of head and neck. The aim is to examine the variations and ossification of the hyoid. This study was performed retrospectively in 2010 - 2013 on 200 CT images. 3D volume rendering images of pure hyoid bone created from the axial CT images in 1 mm slice thickness. The morphological variation count was 23; ossification variations were 9 cases. No difference observed by gender, but there are differences between the age groups for ossification. Ossification rates were found as; partial 34 %, unilateral 33%, complete 22%, early 11%. Most of the morphologic variation were belong to minor horn (57%), variations of major horn were 30%. The clinical importance of hyoid bone has realized in recent years. Due to the close relationship of this bone with the muscles, ligaments, fascias, sternum, clavicles, its dysfunction can lead to general problems. Studies about the variations of hyoid bone found to be quite low, and we believe that our research will contribute to the content of literature.
