The association of sleep apnea with daytime hypersomnolence without obesity, and its potentially lethal cardiopulmonary sequelae, make it crucial that this condition be distinguished from narcolepsy. A patient with retrognathia who had been diagnosed as a narcoleptic for 15 years had the primary
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of two different mandibular advancement devices (MADs) on craniofacial characteristics and upper airway dimensions of Chinese adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
METHODS
Forty-five patients with OSA were recruited as part of a prospective randomized
This is an investigation of anatomical and sleep history risk factors that were associated with abrupt sleep-associated death in seven children with good pre-mortem history. Seven young children with abrupt deaths and information on health status, sleep history, death scene report, and autopsy
A case presenting association of sleep apnea with daytime hypersomnolence and retrognathia is described. Sleep laboratory evaluation showed severe discontinuous hypoxemia and a mean of 250 upper airway obstructions. The patient was treated successfully by surgical correction of the retrognathia.
Snoring (inspiratory noise related to narrowing of the upper airways) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are two aspects of the same basic disorder: sleep-related narrowing of the upper airways. Patients with OSA have been heavy snorers for years and even decades. Lying supine induces snoring and
OBJECTIVE
The Pierre Robin triad (PRT) consists of micrognathia-retrognathia, glossoptosis, and an oval or cleft palate. The goal of this study was to identify patterns of similarity to and differences from the two previous temporal bone studies of the PRT.
METHODS
Seven children with the PRT (ages,
BACKGROUND
Pierre-Robin Sequence (PRS), a triad of micro/retrognathia, glossoptosis, and upper airway obstruction, usually in conjunction with a cleft palate is frequently associated with significant morbidity. Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is an effective treatment modality to address
The distribution of symptoms, physiologic responses, and upper airway structure in members of one family with three generations of subjects with sleep apnea (SA) is reported. Questionnaire data were obtained from ten family members (ages 7 to 66 years), overnight sleep studies were performed in nine
Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), a common disorder, is characterized by repetitive episodes of cessation of breathing during sleep, resulting in hypoxemia and sleep disruption. The consequences of the abnormal breathing during sleep include daytime sleepiness, neurocognitive dysfunction, development of
BACKGROUND
This study is aimed to determine the incidence and predictors of difficult and impossible mask ventilation.
METHODS
Information like age, snoring history, obstructive sleep apnea, dental and mandibular abnormalities, macroglossia, grading like SLUX, Mallampatti, Cormack Lehanne,
