Objective: To evaluate the dimension of the upper airway in Peruvian children. Materials and Methods: Cephalometric radiographs were evaluated according to indicators proposed by McNamara to evaluate the airway. A convenience sample of 75 selected radiographs of peruvian patients between 7 and 12 years old was used. For the statistical evaluation, a level of significance of 5%. Results: The mean for the nasopharynx and oropharynx was 10.39 ± 2.71mm and 12.56 ± 3.68mm respectively. A relationship was found between the age and the size of the nasopharynx in the male sex (rho = 0.47; p<0.05). Conclusion: The dimension of the nasopharynx and oropharynx can vary according to ethnic group
