  • Title: [Adeno-tonsillar hyperplasia and obstructive sleep related respiratory disorders].
    Author: Scholle S, Zwacka G, Rieger B, Gudziol H.
    Journal: Pneumologie; 1997 Aug; 51 Suppl 3():811-3. PubMed ID: 9340649.
    Abstract:
    The most common cause of obstructive apnoeas in children is adenotonsillar hyperplasia. Possibilities of therapy are surgical intervention (adeniodectomy, tonsillectomy) or nasal CPAP. The decision on the most appropriate therapy must be individual. 26 children aged 2-5 years were investigated polysomnographically before therapy, after operation or with nCPAP-therapy. Polygraphy is a helpful aid in making up one's mind in favour of one of the possibilities of therapy, but also for controlling the therapeutic effect.
