OSAS in children: where are we?

Cephalometry.

With the development of x-ray technology and its application to the craniofacial skeleton, numerous landmarks have been described and studied to better diagnose and plan treatment options for anomalies related to facial architecture. The following text serves to highlight the important landmarks and illustrate how they may be used to plan successful orthognathic reconstruction.

OSAS in children: clinical and polysomnographic respiratory profile.

UNLABELLED Obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome in children (osas) has an estimated prevalence of up to 3% and can be associated with neurocognitive and behavioural abnormalities, and also cardiovascular complications. This study may help pediatricians, who are unaware of the problem, to recognize osas. STUDY DESIGN series of cases. AIM to describe the clinical characteristics and ...
