目的:探讨阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(OSAHS)与颈围、舌高和舌宽的关系。方法:对33例OSAHS患者(OSAHS组)进行颈围、舌高及舌宽的测量,并与33例正常健康者(正常对照组)进行比较。结果:OSAHS组的颈围、舌高(经X线碘油造影摄片)和舌宽分别与正常对照组比较,差异均有统计学意义(分别P<0.05和P<0.01)。结论:颈围、舌高及舌宽在OSAHS的发病中起重要作用。 Objective: To investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and neck circumference, tongue height and tongue width. Methods: The neck circumference, tongue height and tongue width of 33 OSAHS patients (OSAHS group) were measured and compared with 33 healthy controls (normal control group). Results: There were significant differences in neck circumference, tongue height (X-ray lipiodography) and tongue width between OSAHS group and normal control group (P <0.05 and P <0.01, respectively). Conclusion: Neck circumference, tongue height and tongue width play an important role in the pathogenesis of OSAHS.
