Skip Polysomnography Before Adenotonsillectomy for Snoring? —Reply
In Reply We thank Kaditis et al for bringing attention to the insights and clinical complexities illuminated by the results of the Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy Trial for Snoring (PATS), as published in JAMA and JAMA Otolaryngology –Head& Neck Surgery. As elucidated by the authors, PATS introduced the term mild sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) to encompass children with both primary snoring (AHI,<1) and mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI], 1-3), distinct from the conventional definition of mild OSA typically denoted by an AHI of 1 to 5. It is noteworthy that all participants in PATS under...

Skip Polysomnography Before Adenotonsillectomy for Snoring?
To the Editor In December 2023, results of the Pediatric Adenotonsillectomy Trial for Snoring (PATS) were published in JAMA and JAMA Otolaryngology –Head& Neck Surgery. Like other elegantly designed and executed clinical trials, PATS triggers more questions than the answers provided. The novel term mild sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is introduced that combines snoring with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of less than 1 event/h (primary snoring) and AHI 1 to less than 3 events/h (mild obstructive sleep apnea [OSA]). Although both subgroups are indistinguishable regarding symptoms and morbidity, this term could confus...

Precision Prevention in Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sleep-related breathing disorders, encompassing snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), are highly prevalent worldwide, and there have been important advances in recent years regarding the understanding of underlying pathophysiology mechanisms, diagnosis, and improvement in therapeutic options. The precision medicine and person-centered approaches are based on the concept that every individual is unique and a myriad of elements influence the likelihood of developing the disease, the signs and symptoms expressed, the response to different treatment modalities, and the susceptibility to complications. Thus, health and ...

Lymphatic Malformation Initially Presenting as Snoring: A Case Report
We describe a case of lymphatic malformation (LM) with snoring as the primary symptom. The patient, an 11-year-old boy, sought medical attention due to "snoring that had worsened over 3 years, accompanied by shortness of breath for 1 month." The preoperative examination showed that the apnea-hypopnea index during sleep was 33.4. The average overnight blood oxygen saturation was 95.3%, reaching a lowest level of 79.9%. Magnetic resonance imaging identified a space-occupying lesion in the postpharyngeal space, leading to significant compression and narrowing of the pharyngeal cavity. This suggested the possibility of a vascu...
