Antenatal discovery of cardiac rhabdomyomes evokes the diagnosis of Bourneville's disease. Antenatal brain exploration with ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can highlight cerebral localizations. In the event of termination of pregnancy, confirmation of the cerebral lesions can be achieved with post mortem MRI as well as pathology examination. MRI can be usefully employed in the event pathology examination is not feasible.

Objectives: This study analyzed the differences in the upper airway of patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion with and without mandibular deviation, and further investigated whether there are differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.

Materials And Methods: 15 patients with skeletal Class III high-angle malocclusion and mandibular deviation, and 15 patients without mandibular deviation were selected to explore the impact of mandibular deviation on the upper airway. Additionally, 16 patients with mandibular deviation undergoing orthodontic-orthognathic combined treatment, and 13 patients without mandibular deviation, were selected to investigate the differences in the changes in upper airway space after orthognathic surgery between the two groups.
