In children adenotonsillectomy (AT) is the recommended treatment in the presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) [1]. It should be performed, if needed, in association with nasal inferior turbinate reduction usually with radiofrequency [2]. But as shown in previous reports, upper airway soft tissues treatment is not always successful in completely controlling abnormal breathing during sleep in children, despite the fact that subjective improvement is often reported [3, 4, 5, 6].

Abstract
In children adenotonsillectomy (AT) is the recommended treatment in the presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) [1]. It should be performed, if needed, in association with nasal inferior turbinate reduction usually with radiofrequency [2]. But as shown in previous reports, upper airway soft tissues treatment is not always successful in completely controlling abnormal breathing during sleep in children, despite the fact that subjective improvement is often reported [3, 4, 5, 6].| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
