Snoring is a common symptom of airway obstruction, which is
included in the spectrum of sleep-related breathing disorders. The
manifestation may occur alone (primary snoring) or in association
with other signs and symptoms such as rhinorrhea, hyponasal speech,
cough, hypopnea, and sleep apnea. Furthermore, snoring in the
paediatric population is increasing and has been identified as a
primary health concern by the American Academy of Paediatrics. This
increase has been associated with a rise in co-morbid disease
processes such as asthma and allergies, lifestyle changes and
increasing changes and increasing obesity in the paediatric
population. This book examines the clinical picture, aetiology,
diagnosis and treatment of snoring in paediatric patients. A
thorough review of the literature data on the efficacy of the
different types of intraoral devices used in obstructive sleep
apnea-hypopnea (OSAH) is also assessed, as well as the two common
urological consequences in OSA patients, namely Erectile
Dysfunction (ED) and nocturia. Other topics discussed in this book
include the underlying etiologic factors associated with sleep
disordered breathing (SDB), a review of diagnostic studies that
have been used to assess upper airway anatomy in patients with
sleep-disordered breathing and a discussion of a multi-disciplinary
approach taken to address the interaction of etiological components
associated with SDB, to identify the causative agent(s) in specific
individuals seeking definitive resolution.
