Comparison of Clinical Symptoms and Severity of Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Children With and Without Cleft Lip and/or Palate.
CONCLUSIONS: Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are common in CL/P with less tonsillar enlargement than non-CL/P children. Children with CL/P have similar OSA severity compared to non-cleft children but more central apnea which may indicate differences in the control of breathing.
