    Abstract:
    Thirty aleatory patients polysomnographically diagnosed as sleep apnea syndrome (SAOS) with an apnea-hypoapnea index (AHI) accounting for 61.3 +/- 31.1 were, bipedal and in decubitus, cephalometrically explored, aiming at establish the correlation between the cephalometric quantum of the upper airway and the anthropomorphic and polysomnographic parameters clearly establishing the syndrome. The weak correlation confirmed among the AHI and the back passage in decubitus (PASDEC), even between the nocturnal oxymetric nadir and the length of the palate, advice against considering the gravity of the OSAS as sole function of the altered cephalometric degree checked in the test.
