BACKGROUND: Twenty to thirty percent of the population has craniomandibular anomalies, that are closely related to craniocervical disorders. AIM: To evaluate the craniocervical region from a radiological point of view in healthy young adults. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A lateral head and neck radiological study, using the technique described by Rocabado, was done to 60 Chilean young adults, aged 19 to 24 years old. RESULTS: The cervical curvature was altered in 70% of subjects (kyphosis in 35%, straightening in 33.3% and lordosis in 1.7%). Sixty eight percent had alteration of the hyoid triangle (in the plane in 31.7% and inverted in 37%). The distance between CO and C1 was altered in 48% (less than 4 mm in 15% and more than 9 mm in 33%). An altered posteroinferior angle was observed in 40% (less than 96 degrees in 30% and over 106 degrees in 10%). CONCLUSION: A high percentage of alterations of the craniocervical region was detected in healthy adults.
