ROLE OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING CEPHALOMETRY IN OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNOEA (OSA)

Syed Safiullah, Qurban Ali, Umair Ahmad Sahi

Background- OSA is most widely recognized general problem that is found in adults. People wo suffered in this problem are inclined for unreasonable fat tissues in the neck, that narrow down the upper airway route (UAR). There are a lot of ways for evaluating UAR specially MRI is seen as more helpful for characterizing the abnormalities of delicate tissue Techniques- Strategies. 50 patients were tentatively concentrated giving obstructive sleep apnoesa with 50 other typical controls to assess MRI cephalometry to analyze the problem of obstructive sleep apnoesa by comparing the area of cross section and antero-back measurement of the UAR in the retro-palatal aviation route. Findings- By comparing it was found that the MRI of patients indicates that the area of cross section is very small and also the diameter of anttero posterior is considerably small. Conclusion- It was concluded in this study that MRI is proved to be very useful techniques to diagnose obstructive sleep apnoesa Keywords: Magnetic resonance imaging cephalometry , Obstructive sleep apnoea.
