Abstract:
An 8-year-old girl with Hallermann-Streiff syndrome (oculomandibulofacial syndrome) was examined. She had a history of severe snoring, reported nocturnal apnea, excessive daytime hypersomnolence, nocturnal enuresis, and failure to thrive. Overnight polysomnography confirmed severe obstructive sleep apnea. Long-term nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy completely relieved the obstructive sleep apnea and was associated with improved weight gain and growth.

Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
