Özet

Objective: This study aims to examine craniofacial morphology (CFM) with cephalometric radiographs in adults with tympanic membrane atelectasis (TMA). Methods: A total of 50 patients (study group) were included and standardized lateral and anteroposterior cephalograms were performed. The control group consisted of 50 patients. Anteroposterior cephalograms were compared with the normative data. Results: A significant increase in vertical and decrease in horizontal linear measurements were observed in lateral and anteroposterior cephalograms respectively. Except for the facial axis, the angular measurements were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Cephalometric data indicate a narrow and elongated but nearly proportional CFM for patients with TMA.
