“…It is difficult to compare our findings with the previous studies since no study homogeneously examined the pharyngeal airway volume in patients affected by BCLP. Yoshihara et al 15 who included 10 adolescent patients affected by UCLP and 4 adolescent patients affected by BCLP in their study, reported statistically significant decrease in pharyngeal airway volumes compared to the control group. The other study, 13 including 16 UCLP and 3 BCLP patients who had all previously been treated by maxillary expansion prior to the CBCT taken, reported increased pharyngeal airway volumes compared to the control group.…”

“…17 Craniofacial morphology of the patients affected by UCLP and BCLP has been investigated. 6,[18][19][20][21][22][23] Although several studies [7][8][9][10][11]24,25 were performed to investigate the pharyngeal airway volume in patients with different skeletal patterns, limited numbers of studies [12][13][14][15] were published examining the pharyngeal airway volumes in patients affected by cleft. Aras et al 12 used computed tomography (CT) to assess the pharyngeal airway, stating that the cephalometric techniques seemed to be insufficient and that the CT method providing 3D images appeared to be more appropriate.…”

“…To our knowledge, only two studies 13,15 included 3D data of patients affected by BCLP for the assessment of pharyngeal airway volume; however, the groups were not standardized and homogeneously distributed in those studies. Cheung and Oberoi 13 investigated pharyngeal airway in 16 UCLP and 3 BCLP patients, who had been previously treated by maxillary expansion.…”

“…However, few studies [12][13][14][15] were performed to assess pharyngeal airway volume in patients affected by cleft, and pharyngeal airway volume in patients affected by bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) was almost neglected.…”

“…Cheung and Oberoi 13 investigated pharyngeal airway in 16 UCLP and 3 BCLP patients, who had been previously treated by maxillary expansion. Yoshihara et al 15 included 10 patients with UCLP and 5 patients with BCLP in the juvenile group, and 10 patients with UCLP and 4 patients with BCLP in the adolescent group. None of these studies separately investigated the airway volume as UCLP and BCLP groups, probably due to including a small number of patients affected by BCLP.…”

Objective: To test the null hypothesis that there were no significant differences for pharyngeal airway volumes between the adolescent patients affected by bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) and well-matched controls using cone beam computed tomography. Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of 16 patients (11 female and 5 male; mean [SD] age 14.1 [2.1] years) affected by BCLP and 16 patients (10 female and 6 male; mean [SD] age 13.4 [2.0] years) as age-and sex-matched control group. Craniofacial measurements and pharyngeal airway dimension, area, and volume measurements of patients in both groups were calculated and statistically examined using Student's t-test and multiple linear regression analyses. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the BCLP and control groups for SNB (P , .05), SN-GoGn (P , .05), Co-A (P , .05), PAS (P , .01), minAx (P , .01), and oropharyngeal airway volume (P , .05). The most predictive variables for oropharyngeal airway volume were found as PAS (r 5 .655 and P 5 .000) and minAx (r 5 .787 and P 5 .000). Conclusions: The null hypothesis was rejected. Oropharyngeal (P , .05) and total (P . .05) airway volumes were found to be less in the BCLP group, and thus the treatment choice in these patients should have positive effects on the pharyngeal airway.

Three-dimensional evaluation of nasopharyngeal airways of unilateral cleft lip and palate patients

et al. 2014

Evaluation of the nasopharyngeal airways revealed that the NV and PV airways showed no difference between the cleft and noncleft subjects. It is interesting to postulate that the reported nasal abnormalities of the cleft patients do not produce a significant measurable effect on the overall volume, at least as shown in our study sample. In addition, the nasopharyngeal airways of patients are not larger than those of age-matched controls, at least at the ages that were sampled, after cleft palate repair.

Objectives/Hypothesis Individuals with orofacial clefts often experience respiratory problems because of nasopharyngeal abnormalities. Pharyngeal airway morphology is thought to differ among the various cleft types. We measured three‐dimensional (3D) airway volume using cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis to evaluate and compare pharyngeal airways in Japanese preschoolers with and without orofacial clefts. Study Design Retrospective case‐control study. Methods We enrolled 83 subjects (37 boys, 46 girls; mean age = 4.66 ± 0.56 years) with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts and 16 noncleft healthy subjects (seven boys, nine girls; mean age = 5.30 ± 0.52 years) as controls. The subjects were divided into five groups. Four groups were based on the cleft type: isolated cleft palate, unilateral cleft lip and alveolus), unilateral cleft lip and palate, and bilateral cleft lip and palate. The fifth group included the noncleft controls. All subjects were examined with CBCT, and the 3D airway volume was measured. We analyzed group differences statistically using analysis of covariance with the Bonferroni post hoc pairwise comparison tests for the corrected means. Results Compared with the noncleft group, each cleft group exhibited significantly decreased total and nasal airway volumes and increased superior and inferior pharyngeal airway volumes. The differences were all statistically significant. Conclusions Our findings suggest that anatomical differences exist in pharyngeal airway volumes among various cleft groups and in those without a cleft.
