Skeletal Morphology Facial skeletal morphology was studied by cephalometric analysis in 25 patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and ten controls. The hyoid bone was more inferiorly positioned in patients (at the level of cervical vertebrae C4-C6) than in controls (C3-C4 level). The height and length of the nasal cavity was normal, while the length of the bony nasopharynx was moderately reduced. The mandibular plane inclination was slightly larger in patients as was the anterior face height. Mandibular retrognathia was demonstrated in six patients (24 per cent), but the angles of maxillary and mandibular prognathism was within normal limits when the group was considered as a unity. Cephalometric analysis is highly recommended as a diagnostic aid in OSAS patients, especially when surgical intervention is considered. Copyright © JLO (1984) Limited 1989 Lyberg T.
