[Research progress of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome caused by epiglottic collapse]
Abstract:
The incidence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is rising in recent years. Since OSAS is cased by collapse of the airways, while knowledge regarding the role of the epiglottic collapse in OSAS is limited. The use of DISE has led to better understanding of the relationship between epiglottis and OSAS.In order to improve the level of diagnosis and therapeutic effect,in this paper,the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of OSAS caused by epiglottic collapse are reviewed.
