  1. OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP DISORDERS IN BREATHING IN CHILDHOODAdenotonsillar HypertrophyA. Kaditis, MD Pediatric Pulmonology Unit, Sleep Disorders Laboratory First Department of Pediatrics University of Athens School of Medicine and Aghia Sophia Children’s Hospital Athens, Greece

  2. Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) Spectrum of abnormal respiratory patterns during sleep characterized by snoring and increased respiratory effort • Primary snoring • Upper airway resistance syndrome • Obstructive hypoventilation • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

  3. Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy Pathophysiology of Obstructive SDB

  4. A Mechanical Model for Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) Upper Airway Resistance

  6. Symptoms of Obstructive SDB directly associated with intermittent upper airway obstruction Snoring Reported apneas during sleep Difficulty breathing during sleep Mouth breathing Restless sleep Frequent arousals

  7. Conditions affecting Upper Airway Resistance and/or Pharyngeal Collapsibility • Adenotonsillar hypertrophy, allergic rhinitis, nasal septum deviation, nasal polyps • Obesity • Craniofacial abnormalities • Neuromuscular disorders

  8. Upper Airway Dysfunction and Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy

  22. Conclusions • Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is a major risk factorfor obstructive sleep-disordered breathing in childhood • Cysteinyl leukotrienes promote adenotonsillar hypertrophy • Residual sleep-disordered breathing post ATmay be the result of co-existing nasal inflammation, obesity or craniofacial abnormalities.
