[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the clinical usage of multivoxel 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) pre-and post-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP).Materials and Methods: Twenty cases of moderate to severe OSAHS underwent UPPP and performed brain multivoxel 1H-MRS examinations in pre-and post-operation. The ratios of brain metabolites of centrum ovale and basal ganglia were recorded and analyzed, respectively.Results: In the centrum ovale, the postoperative NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho of 2.422±0.265 and 1.487±0.168 was significantly higher than that of the preoperative (2.199±0.143 and 1.163±0.170, P<0.05). The postoperative Cho/Cr (1.580±0.175) significantly decreased than that of the preoperative (1.768±0.113, P<0.05). In the basal ganglia, postoperative NAA/Cr, NAA/Cho (1.995±0.131 and 1.673±0.155, respectively) was slightly increased than that of the preoperative (1.932±0.155 and 1.568±0.141). The the postoperative Cho/Cr of 1.181±0.129 decreased than that of the preoperative (1.262±0.134), but the difference was not significant (P> 0.05).Conclusion: Multivoxel 1H-MRS may be useful for brain metabolism in patients with OSAHS pre-and post-UPPP.
