Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndromes
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2005Complete or partial collapse of the upper airway during sleep has different effects on the human body ranging from noisy breathing (snoring) to significant cardiovascular sequelae as seen in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Snoring is very common in the adult population and has been associated with morbidity in epidemiological studies.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome and Acromegaly [PDF]
Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1994 Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a complex disorder that has been associated with a variety of abnormalities of the upper airway, including tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy, nasal obstruction, retrognathia, and macroglossia. The cause of the airway obstruction in acromegaly is believed to be related to osseous and soft‐tissue changes surrounding the ...

Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2010Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common and serious cause of metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurocognitive morbidity in children. Children with OSAS have increased upper airway resistance during sleep due to a combination of soft tissue hypertrophy, craniofacial dysmorphology, neuromuscular weakness, or obesity.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome in Children
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2003Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children is often caused by obstruction of the upper airway due to hypertrophy of the adenoids and palatine tonsils. Between October 1988 and December 1991, 50 children (34 males, 16 females) visited our department due to attacks of sleep apnea and underwent adenotomy or adeno-tonsillectomy.

Women and the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Chest, 1988Twenty-seven women referred to a sleep disorders clinic for symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) during one year were systematically analyzed after polygraphic monitoring of sleep and cephalometric x-ray examination. Our subjects, one-third of whom were premenopausal, comprised approximately 12 percent of the total OSAS population seen ...

Obstructive sleep apnea/ hypopnea syndrome
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (OSA/H) is a common disorder for which there are a variety of therapeutic options. All patients should make appropriate alterations in lifestyle and habits to reduce the risk of upper airway instability during sleep. The aggressiveness of additional treatment should be dictated by the severity of OSA/H, as measured by ...
