Abstract excerpt
AIM: This study aimed to verify the correlation of the airway-facial phenotype and visualize the morphological variation in Crouzon syndrome patients. Additionally, to develop a non-radiation methodology for airway assessments. METHOD: In this study, 22 patients diagnosed with Crouzon syndrome (Age: 7.80 ± 5.63 years; Gender distribution: 11 females and 11 males) were analysed. The soft tissue surface and airway...
