    Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSA) in children is more common than previously thought. Early diagnosis of OSA is crucial to prevent serious complications and enable effective treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Sleep Medicine
    • Respiratory Medicine

    Background:

    • Heavy snoring in children can indicate periods of apnoea.
    • Frequent apnoea episodes define obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSA).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review cases of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome in children.
    • To highlight the prevalence and varied presentation of pediatric OSA.
    • To emphasize the importance of early OSA diagnosis in children.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of twenty pediatric patients diagnosed with OSA.
    • Patients presented to the Department of Thoracic Medicine, Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne.
    • Data collected over a three-year period.
