RESUMO
Abstract Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea is a consequence of upper airway collapse. Any obstructive sector in the upper airway can contribute to pharyngeal collapse. Obesity and obesity-related disorders play an important role in obstructive sleep apnea and its relationship with increased upper airway resistance. Objective This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between obesity and properties of the nasal cavity in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Methods The study was conducted retrospectively by review of medical records of adult patients. The nasal obstruction symptom evaluation, NOSE instrument, was used to measure nasal obstruction. Sleep breathing disorders were evaluated by polysomnography exams. Nasal volume was obtained by computed tomography scans and volumetric reconstruction of nasal airway. Nasal anatomic alterations were assessed by nasal endoscopy. Results Analysis of 83 patient records, among whom 54 were male and 29 females, found the mean body mass index of 28.69 kg/m2. Obese and non-obese groups were determined by using cut-off 30 kg/m2. In the comparison between groups, the obese group had a positive and significant correlation with apnea/hypopnea index (p= 0.02), NOSE instrument (p= 0.033) and inferior turbinate hypertrophy (p= 0.036), with odds ratio 1.983 (95% IC 1.048 − 3.753). nasal septum deviation (p= 0.126) and nasal airway volume evaluation (p= 0.177) showed no significant results. Conclusion Obesity was significantly correlated with subjective nasal obstruction, NOSE scale, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. There was no correlation with the nasal volume evaluation. Level of Evidence 3b - Individual case-control study.

Abstract Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea occurs by recurrent collapse of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in total (apnea) or partial (hypopnea) reduction of the airflow and has intimate relation with changes in the upper airway. Cone Beam CT allows the analysis of the upper airway and its volume by three-dimensional reconstruction. Objective To evaluate a possible correlation between the volume of the upper airway and the severity of the obstructive sleep apnea. Methods A retrospective study was performed reviewing polysomnographic data and Cone Beam CT records of 29 patients (13 males and 16 females). The correlation between the volume of the nasopharynx, the oropharynx and the total superior pharynx with the AHI was assessed by Pearson's rank correlation coefficient. Results The obstructive sleep apnea severity division was: ten patients had severe, 7 had moderate, 6 had mild and 6 of them were healthy. The correlation between the nasopharynx, the oropharynx and the total superior pharynx volumes and the Apnea-Hypopnea-Index was respectively: −0.415 (p = 0.025), 0.186 (p = 0.334) and −0329 (p = 0.089). The Spearman's rank controlled by the Body Mass Index, the age and the gender was: −0.206 (p = 0.304), −0.155 (p = 0.439) and 0.242 (p = 0.284). Conclusion There is no correlation between the volume of the airway and the obstructive sleep apnea, assessed by Apnea-Hypopnea-Index and controlled by the Body Mass Index, the age and the gender. The volume of the upper airways as an isolated parameter did not correlate to the severity of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and should be evaluated together with other factors.

RESUMO
Objective: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) occurs by recurrent collapse of the upper airway during sleep. It results in complete (apnea) or partial (hypopnea) reduction of airflow and has intimate relation with the upper airway anatomy. Cephalometric analysis has been used to quantify airway dimensions. The aim of this study is evaluate the correlation between the anteroposterior dimension of the upper airway and the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed reviewing polysomnographic data (AHI) and anteroposterior cephalometric measurements of pharynx subregions: nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx. Results: The sample consisted of 30 patients. The mean body mass index was 29.60 kg/m2 and the average age was 46.8 years. Nine patients presented severe OSA, seven had moderate OSA, seven had mild OSA, and seven were healthy. The Pearson's correlation index between the anteroposterior dimension of the nasopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx and AHI was respectively -0.128 (p=0.517), -0.272 (p=0.162) and -0.129 (p=0.513). Conclusion: The correlation between anteroposterior linear dimension of the airway and OSA severity, assessed by AHI, was not positive. As an isolated parameter it did not correlate to the severity of the obstrucive sleep apnea syndrome and should be evaluated in conjunction with other factors. (AU)
Objetivo: A Apneia Obstrutiva do Sono (SAHOS) ocorre por um colapso recorrente da via aérea superior durante o sono. Isto resulta na redução completa (apneia) ou parcial (hipopneia) do fluxo de ar, e apresenta relação íntima com a anatomia das vias aéreas superiores. A análise cefalométrica tem sido utilizada para quantificar as dimensões das vias aéreas. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a correlação entre a dimensão anteroposterior da via aérea superior e a gravidade da SAHOS. Material e Métodos: Foi realizada a análise retrospectiva dos dados polissonográficos (IAH) e medidas cefalométricas anteroposteriores das sub-regiões da farínge: nasofaringe, orofaringe e hipofaringe. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 30 pacientes. O índice médio de massa corporal foi de 29,60 kg/m2 e a média de idade foi de 46,8 anos. Nove pacientes apresentaram SAHOS grave, 7 SAHOS moderada, 7 SAHOS leve e 7 eram saudáveis. O índice de correlação de Pearson entre a dimensão anteroposterior da nasofaringe, orofaringe e hipofaringe com IAH foi -0,128 (p=0,517), -0,272 (p=0,162) e -0,1229 (p=0,513), respectivamente. Conclusão: A correlação entre a dimensão linear anteroposterior da via áerea e a gravidade da SAHOS, avaliada por meio da IAH, não foi positiva. Como parâmetro isolado, a análise cefalométrica não foi correlacionada com a severidade da SAHOS e portanto, deve ser avaliada em conjunto com outros fatores. (AU)

Fractures involving the mandibular condyle are among the most common fractures of facial bones and still generate great discussion concerning therapeutic issues. Several factors have influence on the decision of treatment management of these fractures. In some patients, even when there is displacement of fractured fragments, the choice for conservative treatment is made. However, the removal of the condyle fragment may be required. In the oral surgery scope, endoscopy is a procedure used in many areas, and can be helpful to improve the visualization of surgical sites with difficult access. The endoscopic surgery brings benefits to patient such as no scar or minimal scar, lower risk to nerve damage, and decreased of surgical trauma and bleeding. In addition, according to surgeon experience, the surgery may become more dynamic. The aim of this study is to present an endoscopic technique associated with a transoral approach to remove a displaced sagittal intracapsular condyle fragment. Furthermore, to expose the advantages and benefits of this technique as well as the satisfactory results achieved.

RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study was designed to evaluate the correlation between computed tomography findings and data from the physical examination and the Friedman Staging System (FSS) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective evaluation by reviewing the medical records of 33 patients (19 male and 14 female patients) with a mean body mass index of 30.38 kg/m(2) and mean age of 49.35 years. Among these patients, 14 presented with severe OSA, 7 had moderate OSA, 7 had mild OSA, and 5 were healthy. RESULTS: The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the FSS: Group A comprised patients with FSS stage I or II, and group B comprised patients with FSS stage III. By use of the Fisher exact test, a positive relationship between the FSS stage and apnea-hypopnea index (P = .011) and between the FSS stage and body mass index (P = .012) was found. There was no correlation between age (P = .55) and gender (P = .53) with the FSS stage. The analysis of variance test comparing the upper airway volume between the 2 groups showed P = .018. CONCLUSIONS: In this sample the FSS and upper airway volume showed an inverse correlation and were useful in analyzing the mechanisms of airway collapse in patients with OSA.

INTRODUCTION: The obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is caused by recurrent episodes of partial or total obstruction of the upper airway lasting more than 10 seconds during sleep. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a variant of the disease Gastroesophageal Reflux that affects the larynx and pharynx. OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the influence of obesity on the relationship between RFL and OSAS in patients with OSA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational retrospective cross. We reviewed care protocol for patients with OSA that includes validated questionnaires for RFL as Sympton Reflux Index (RSI) and Reflux Finding Score (RSI), and polysomnography nasolaringofibroscopia. RESULTS: 105 patients were divided into obese group (39 patients) and non-obese patients (66 patients). In the evaluation of the mean RSI group of non-obese was similar between patients with mild OSA (11.96) and moderate (11.43). In the obese group the mean RSI was 6.7 in patients with mild OSA and 11.53 in patients with moderate to severe OSA (p < 0.05). DISCUSSION: The subgroup of patients with OSA and RFL have several factors that promote inflammation of the upper airway. Patients with OSA should be screened and treated as the RFL increasing the quality of life. CONCLUSION: The RFL are positively correlated and OSAS in obese patients.

INTRODUÇÃO: Obstrução nasal é um sintoma comum e atinge 25 por cento da população. A hipertrofia de cornetos inferiores é a principal causa de obstrução nasal. Na falha do controle clínico um procedimento cirúrgico para redução do volume dos cornetos inferiores é indicado. OBJETIVO: Comparar a melhora da qualidade de vida no pós-operatório tardio de turbinectomia e turbinoplastia. MÉTODO: Estudo de Série de Casos retrospectivo. Foram avaliados 24 pacientes submetidos à cirurgia nasal de turbinectomia ou turbinoplastia em 2007. Os pacientes foram convocados para uma entrevista em agosto de 2008. Os pacientes foram avaliados quanto aos seguintes itens: escala NOSE pós-operatória, morbidade no PO, sangramentos e quantidade de crostas no PO. RESULTADOS: Compareceram para a avaliação 24 pacientes. A principal variável analisada foi à diferença entre a escala NOSE no pré e no pós-operatório tardio. Não houve significância estatística pelo teste t de student nas variáveis estudadas. DISCUSSÃO: Na avaliação dos diversos tipos de tratamento cirúrgico do corneto inferior a literatura mostra resultados semelhantes ao do nosso estudo encontrando resultados semelhantes entre as diversas técnicas cirúrgicas quanto à melhora da obstrução nasal e a atividade mucociliar. CONCLUSÃO: Não há evidencia na literatura e em nossa amostra da superioridade de uma técnica do tratamento cirúrgico do corneto inferior sobre os outros tratamentos.
INTRODUCTION: Nasal Obstruction is a common symptom and affects 25 percent of the population. The inferior turbinate hypertrophy is the main cause of nasal obstruction. In the failure of clinical control, a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the inferior turbinate is indicated. OBJECTIVE: Compare the improvement of life quality in late postoperative of Turbinectomy and turbinoplasty. METHOD: Study of a retrospective case series. 24 patients were submitted to a nasal surgery of turbinectomy or turbinoplasty in 2007. The patients were invited to an interview in august of 2008. The patients were evaluated in the following items: Postoperative NOSE scale, morbidity in postoperative, bleeding and quantity of crusts in postoperative. RESULTS: 24 patients attended for the evaluation. The main variable analyzed was the difference between NOSE scales in late pre and post operative. There was no statistically significant by the test in the variables studied. Discussion: In the evaluation of the various types of surgical treatment of the inferior turbinate, literature shows similar results to our study, finding similar results between many surgical techniques in the improvement of the nasal obstruction and in mucociliary activity. CONCLUSION: There are no evidence in the literature and in our sample of the superiority of a technique of surgical treatment in the inferior turbinate under other treatments.
RESUMO
UNLABELLED: OSAHS is an important disease in current medical settings because of its association with chronic cardiovascular diseases and socioeconomic impacts. AIMS: to establish the correlation between the Friedman Classification and the OSAHS severity through the Apnea-Hypopnea Index) in patients with OSAHS for assessment and surgery purposes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study. We evaluated and classified 143 patients, using the Epworth's and Friedman's scale and OSAHS severity according to the AHI. RESULTS: 112 patients were submitted to polysomnography. We compared the Friedman Score and the IAH. The variables were associated with p<0.05. We found that patients with light OSAHS, tended to have a lower Friedman classification (better surgical result). By the same token, patients with moderate to severe OSAHS had a greater prevalence of Friedman's score of III and IV; p< 0.05 (lower success rates from uvulopalatopharyngoplasty). CONCLUSION: We conclude that the Friedman's classification correlates with OSAHS severity - the higher the Friedman's score, the more severe is the OSAHS.

UNLABELLED: Respiratory sleep disorders are strongly associated with upper airway patency. Nasal obstruction is associated with higher incidences of sleep apnea, primarily by increasing the negative pressure on the airway during inspiration. AIMS: To evaluate the influence of nasal obstruction in the worsening of sleep apnea in patients with OSA and a high score on the modified classification of Mallampati. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated and classified 206 patients complaining of snoring, and with a past suggestive of OSA through the Modified Mallampati score, Friedman, nasal obstruction and the severity of OSA by AHI. RESULTS: 168 patients who underwent polysomnography were included. Cross-plotting was made comparing the modified Mallampati score, nasal obstruction and AIH. The odds ratio between high Mallampati score and AHI was OR = 5.053, 95% CI = 1.458 to 7.517 (p = 0.0071). High Mallampati score associated with nasal obstruction was correlated with OSAS (p = 0.0227). However the influence of nasal obstruction on the relationship of high Mallampati score and OSA was not significant: OR = 2.850, 95% CI = 0.992 to 8.189. CONCLUSION: The combination of high Mallampati score and nasal obstruction represents a greater risk factor for worsening of OSA.

ASAHOS é uma doença importante no cenário médico atual pela sua correlação com doenças cardiovasculares crônicas e suas consequências socioeconômicas. OBJETIVOS: Determinar a correlação entre a classificação de Friedman com a gravidade da doença pelo Índice de Apneia e Hipopneia em pacientes com SAHOS, para a avaliação e indicação cirúrgica. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal. Foram avaliados e classificados 143 pacientes, na escala de Epworth, Friedman e quanto à gravidade da SAHOS pelo IAH. RESULTADOS: 112 pacientes se submeteram ao estudo de polissonografia no laboratório de sono. Uma crostabulação foi feita entre a Classificação de Friedman e o IAH. As variáveis se relacionam com p<0,05. Encontramos uma relação em que os pacientes com SAHOS leve tendem a ter uma menor classificação de Friedman (melhores resultados cirúrgicos). Da mesma forma os pacientes classificados como SAHOS moderada a grave possuem maior prevalência da classificação de Friedman III e IV (menor sucesso com uvulopalatofaringoplastia). p<0.05. CONCLUSÃO: Concluímos que a classificação de Friedman se correlaciona com a gravidade da SAHOS. Quanto maior a classificação de Friedman, maior tende a ser a gravidade da apneia nesse estudo.

Os distúrbios respiratórios do sono estão associados à perviedade das vias aéreas superiores. Obstrução nasal é associada com o aumento de eventos de apneia do sono, principalmente pelo aumento da pressão negativa imposta às vias aéreas durante a inspiração. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a influência da obstrução nasal associada à classificação modificada de Mallampati na gravidade da SAOS. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados e classificados 206 pacientes com queixa de roncos e história sugestiva de SAOS através do Escore Modificado de Mallampati, Friedman, obstrução nasal e quanto à gravidade da SAOS pelo IAH. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 168 pacientes que se submeteram ao estudo de polissonografia no laboratório de sono. Uma crostabulação foi feita entre o escore modificado de Mallampati, obstrução nasal e o IAH. O Oddis Ratio entre alto escore de Mallampati e IAH foi OR=5,053, IC 95 por cento=1,458 - 7,517(p = 0,0071). Alto Mallampati associado com obstrução nasal se correlacionam com SAOS (p=0,0227). Entretanto, a influência da obstrução nasal sobre a relação do alto escore de Mallampati e SAOS não foi significativa OR = 2,850, IC 95 por cento=0,992 - 8,189. CONCLUSÃO: A associação de alto escore de Mallampati e obstrução nasal é fator de risco para agravamento da SAOS.

RESULTS: 168 patients who underwent polysomnography were included. Cross-plotting was made comparing the modified Mallampati score, nasal obstruction and AIH. The odds ratio between high Mallampati score and AHI was OR = 5.053, 95 percent CI = 1.458 to 7.517 (p = 0.0071). High Mallampati score associated with nasal obstruction was correlated with OSAS (p = 0.0227). However the influence of nasal obstruction on the relationship of high Mallampati score and OSA was not significant: OR = 2.850, 95 percent CI = 0.992 to 8.189. CONCLUSION: The combination of high Mallampati score and nasal obstruction represents a greater risk factor for worsening of OSA.
