  • Title: [Sleep apnea syndrome in children: indications for tonsillectomy].
    Author: Knöbber D, Rose KG.
    Journal: HNO; 1985 Feb; 33(2):87-9. PubMed ID: 3980251.
    Abstract:
    Laryngo-tracheo-bronchoscopy on a 2 year old boy with the sleep apnea syndrome showed no anatomic abnormalities and no signs of upper airway obstruction. After tonsillectomy the infant revealed an improvement in sleep pattern, and 1 1/2 years later, the syndrome has been relieved completely. In our opinion, the sleep apnea syndrome is an indication for tonsillectomy.
