  • Title: [Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children; an indication for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy].
    Author: Wouters HJ, Folgering HT, Manni JJ.
    Journal: Tijdschr Kindergeneeskd; 1986 Oct; 54(5):154-7. PubMed ID: 3798444.
    Abstract:
    A 3-year-old girl with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome associated with tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy is discussed. Nocturnal sleep registration, 4 months after adeno-tonsillectomy revealed complete arrest of apnea episodes and there was improvement in sleep pattern. In the early detection of obstructive sleep apnea in children a careful history and nocturnal sleep registration are essential. In children, tonsillar and adenoid hypertrophy are the main causes of obstructive sleep apnea.
