Background: Within diagnosis and treatment planning in patients with dentofacial deformities, evaluation of the upper airway is important since it may be altered by facial skeletal pattern or be affected by orthognathic surgery, being the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) the best diagnostic tool for evaluation of airway due to its precision and predictability. Objective: To evaluate upper airway volume in different facial skeletal patterns of a peruvian population in CBCT. Materials and methods: 60 tomographies were evaluated through the PLANMECA Romexis Viewer program, where volume in nasopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx was measured. according to facial skeletal pattern and sex. Results: 45% were males and 55% females. It was observed that the highest average volume was found in patients with Class III with 7.37 cm³, 19.14 cm³ and 5.65 cm³ in nasopharynx, oropharynx and hypop...

Agranulocytosis refers to a low white blood cell count, specifically neutrophils, which can be caused by certain medications such as antithyroid drugs (ATD). This condition can result in oral manifestations, including diffuse gingival ulceration or necrosis. We present the case of a 26-year-old female patient with a history of hyperthyroidism who came to the emergency department of Alberto Sabogal Sologuren National Hospital with swelling on the left side of her face, accompanied by dysphagia, multiple ulcerated lesions in the oral mucosa involving bone tissue, as well as fever and general malaise. After conducting additional tests, the patient was diagnosed with oral and cervicofacial infection secondary to agranulocytosis caused by methimazole treatment. While the global literature reports cases of agranulocytosis as an adverse effect of antithyroid medication, with documented oral man...
