El pliegue diagonal del l\u00f3bulo de la oreja (PDL) (signo de Frank) es un pliegue con un \u00e1ngulo aproximado de 45\u00b0, que se extiende diagonalmente desde el trago hasta el borde del pabell\u00f3n auricular a diferentes profundidades. En este estudio se examin\u00f3 la relaci\u00f3n entre el s\u00edndrome de apnea obstructiva del sue\u00f1o (SAOS) y el PDL. Seg\u00fan los resultados obtenidos en esta investigaci\u00f3n, el signo de Frank puede utilizarse como un nuevo hallazgo en la exploraci\u00f3n f\u00edsica para el diagn\u00f3stico del SAOS. Asimismo como resultado, se considera que puede servir como marcador en la evoluci\u00f3n cl\u00ednica de la enfermedad.
————————–
The diagonal earlobe crease (DAC) (Frank’s sign) is a crease with an approximate 45\u00b0 angle, extending diagonally from the tragus to the edge of the auricle at varying depths. This study examined the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and the DAC. Based on the results obtained in this research, Frank’s sign can be used as a novel finding in the physical examination for the diagnosis of OSAS. Furthermore, it is considered that it may serve as a marker in the clinical course of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
