We conducted this study to identify phenotypes of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children based on lifestyle, sleep habits, age, obesity, sex, soft tissue facial features, and specific craniofacial abnormalities.
The findings suggest that until age 6, there are no significant differences… therefore, efforts should be made to ensure early diagnosis so that minimally invasive surgery is a viable treatment option.
We present a fully automated pipeline to identify craniofacial landmarks in real time, and we use it to assess the head shape of patients with craniosynostosis using 3D photogrammetry.
Infants received 3dMD scans at 2 months of age, at clinical resolution of their head shape, and at 12 months of age. If their head shape was not resolved by 12 months of age, they received only two 3dMD scans (at 2 and 12 months of age).
We recently used surface imaging modalities to develop regional measures quantifying elongation in the frontal bossing index and occipital bullet index.
Use of 3D imaging for volume measurement in head and neck lymphedema has not been previously studied. Our study demonstrates that… it is an effective tool in evaluating head and neck lymphedema.
When the nasal tip protrusion decreased, the subjects all had the visual illusion of upper lip protrusion; and when the nasal tip protrusion was too large, the general population had the most obvious visual illusion of upper lip protrusion.
Quantitative measures of severity transcend cleft type and can be used to grade clinical severity.
This study explored the association between occlusal and facial asymmetries in adolescents, particularly emphasizing a Class II subdivision.
Although patients may experience severe structural deformity and range of motion limitations, these factors do not appear to be associated with decreased physical activity level.
