Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in the pediatric age: the role of the otorhinolaryngologist.

CONCLUSIONS: Otolaryngologic assessment is of paramount importance to correctly classify a child with OSA. Correct inspection of the upper airway and quantification of the quality of sleep through polysomnography lead to the right therapeutic choice. Knowledge of different surgical techniques helps to deal with residual OSA after studying the obstruction sites by drug-induced sedation endoscopy. PMID: 30920635 [PubMed - in process]
