Sleep Apnea and Down's Syndrome
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2003Obstructive sleep apnea has been reported to occur in 20-50% of children with Down's syndrome in case series of patients referred for evaluation of suspected sleep apnea. In this population-based controlled study, we aimed to investigate whether sleep apnea is related to Down's syndrome.Every child aged 2-10 years with Down's syndrome residing in the ...

Obstructive sleep apnea syndromes
Medical Clinics of North America, 2004Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndromes afflict various age groups. OSA is reported to be more prevalent in middle-aged men compared with women in the United States, but the true prevalence may be higher, because OSA syndromes are underdiagnosed. This article reviews the history of sleep apnea, discusses the clinical presentation of OSA-hypopnea and ...

The eye in sleep apnea syndrome
Sleep Medicine, 2006Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is a disease characterized by recurrent complete or partial upper airway obstructions during sleep. The majority of patients with SAS demonstrate this obstruction either at the nasopharynx or the oropharynx. Risk factors for SAS include obesity, male gender, upper airway abnormalities, alcohol use, snoring, and neck girth of ...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1990Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is the most common cause of hypersomnolence in patients referred to sleep disorders centers. This type of sleep apnea is characterized by loud snoring, nocturnal oxyhemoglobin desaturation, and disrupted sleep that leads to daytime hypersomnolence.

Complex sleep apnea syndrome (Comp-SAS) is the term used to describe a specific form of sleep disordered breathing characterized by the arise of central sleep apnea in patient with previous obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) treated with continuous positive airway pressure devices (CPAP).

Treatment of complex sleep apnea syndrome
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2008Patients with complex sleep apnea syndrome (CompSAS) present with features of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome but demonstrate not only instability of upper airway tone (leading to classic obstructive apneas and hypopneas) but also unstable, chemosensitive ventilatory control leading to repetitive central apneas or periodic breathing during sleep.

Obstructive sleep apnea in Costello syndrome
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, 2006AbstractCostello syndrome (CS) was initially described by Costello in 1971; it is caused by a germline mutation in HRAS proto‐oncogene. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the respiratory activity during sleep in a group of subjects with CS. We studied 10 consecutive patients, 4 males and 6 females, aged 3–29 years, affected by CS.

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 in childhood
Early Human Development, 2013Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) was first reported in 1976 by Guilleminault. This condition has been defined as a disorder of breathing during sleep characterized by prolonged partial/complete upper airway obstruction that disrupts normal ventilation and normal sleep patterns.
