Control of OSA in a patient with CCC of soft palate using bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Patients with complete concentric collapse of the redropalatal airway are excluded from unilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation. This case report shows good control of OSA in a patient with CCC with a new bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulator.
