Use of cephalometry in diagnosing resonance disorders.

A comparative cephalometric study of the oronasopharyngeal dimensions was carried out on 20 patients with normal speech, 20 patients with nasality and 22 patients with cleft palate speech, with the help of cephalometric landmarks given by Proffit and McGlove, Proffit et al., and Ricketts. The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis, to determine whether there were any significant changes in oronasopharyngeal dimension between the various groups. It was concluded from the obtained data that there was an increase in the width and depth of the nasopharynx, with a consequential increase in the pharyngeal cavity volume in patients with cleft palate speech when compared with patients who had normal speech and those who had nasality.

The intriguing shadow.

In the field of radiodiagnosis shadows often raise doubts. On these depend the invasive investigative procedures which lead to the final diagnosis. The radiologist's word is often considered as the last word in labeling a lesion. The treatment protocol which follows makes a world of a difference to the patient. We report interesting cases where the patients were radiographed prior to orthodontic treatment and coincidentally we found-un believable hidden treasure! This is a modest attempt to emphasize that each shadow in a radiograph should be scrutinized. Needless to say, the keen observation and experience of the diagnostician is of penultimate importance in deciphering the abnormal from the normal.
