| Popis: | Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been linked to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study used computed tomography (CT) to identify cephalometric and upper airway anatomic features in patients with OSA that correlate with the presence of ED. In this prospective study, 20 CT cephalometric and upper airway measurements, most commonly associated with OSA, were analyzed in 53 age- and BMI-matched consecutive eligible subjects. Twenty-two were diagnosed with OSA and ED (OSA+/ED+), 17 with OSA without ED (OSA+/ED−), and 14 without OSA and ED (OSA−/ED−) serving as a control group. Although OSA+/ED+ did not differentiate significantly in CT measurements from OSA+/ED−, they showed more alterations when compared to OSA−/ED−, which included narrower bony oropharynx, longer soft palate and uvula (PNS-P), and narrower retropalatal and retrolingual airway diameter (p |
