Difference in maxillary sinus volumes of patients with cleft lip and palate

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Analysis of Mucosal Thickening in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Maxillary Sinuses

“…Sex did not show as a factor in maxillary sinus size, probably because of the low number of females in the study and that potentially the biggest differences in maxillary volume between males and females show at older ages after growth. The initial finding that the cleft versus noncleft sides did not differ also agreed with De Rezende Barbosa et al (2014).…”

“…Suzuki et al (2000) evaluated the use of 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using only one 2D slice, measuring the cross-sectional area based on the traced outline of the maxillary sinus at the level of the zygomatic arch. Other 3D studies (Deeb et al, 2011; Sahlstrand-Johnson et al, 2011; De Rezende Barbosa et al, 2014) used semiautomatic image analysis software to segment a desired structure from the image, compare numbers of voxels (a term referring to the resolution or the smallest volume of 3D space) with similar intensities, count the number of voxels, and multiply by the size of the voxel and the number of slices to determine volume. Some studies (Karakas and Kavakli, 2005; Deeb et al, 2011; Sahlstrand-Johnson et al, 2011; Hikosaka et al, 2013) used 1- to 5-mm-thick tomographic slices to compute volume without compensating for variations in complex sinus shape, whereas other studies (Ikeda et al, 1998) compensated for changes in area from the top to the bottom of the slice.…”

De Rezende Barbosa et al (2014) used age-matched patients but did not indicate the sex of the patients or the rationale of not reporting it. Thus, there are few 3D studies of the sinus that are detailed.…”

Three-Dimensional Evaluation of Maxillary Sinus Changes in Growing Subjects: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study

“…Authors also investigated the relationship between maxillary sinus dimension with race, sex and age [21][22][23]. Koppe et al in 2006, when comparing the maxillary sinus volume and facial skeleton of adult skull with non-treated bilateral cleft with adult normal skulls without pathologies showed that bigger skulls tended to possess larger maxillary sinuses [24], this is also confirmed in the studies of Barbosa [25] in 2014 and Erdur [26] in 2015 where they noticed that the volume of the maxillary sinus was negatively affected in patients with cleft palate and lip.…”

Estudio de la anastomosis del conducto alveolar superior anterior y posterior en pacientes con fisura labiopalatina

“…Estos resultados pueden estar relacionados con las discrepancias maxilomandibulares causadas por la fisura labiopalatina. Otros estudios nos muestran que existe una alteración en el desarrollo anteroposterior del hueso maxilar debido a la presencia de fisura labiopalatina; esto podría guardar relación con los resultados de este estudio [11][12][13] . Otro estudio de la AIO del CASP con CASA en pacientes no portadores de fisura labiopalatina, realizado en TCHC, describe no encontrar diferencias en la localización y simetría de la anastomosis cuando compararon el lado derecho con su contralateral izquierdo 10 , lo cual no concuerda con los resultados de este estudio, puesto que cuando comparado el lado FLP con su contralateral NF, en 68 (71,5 %) de los casos la localización de AIO fue asimétrica y solo 27 (28,4 %) de los casos fue simétrico.…”
