Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how obesity affects the facial structure of adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and whether how early they became obese made a difference.
- Researchers examined 62 adult patients, splitting them into three groups based on when their obesity started: before puberty, after puberty, or not at all.
- The results showed that those who became obese early had different jaw and facial features compared to those who got obese later, suggesting that when someone becomes obese can influence their facial growth.
The occurrence of cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum is very rare but can be potentially life-threatening. These complications can happen during or after bronchoscopic or dental procedures, esophageal rupture or perforation, infections involving the head and neck and alveolar rupture in the setting of an inciting event such as asthma. The symptoms can appear promptly after the inciting event, but can also be delayed or do not reach maximal intensity for hours.
