Pediatric airway abnormalities: evaluation and management

Scott Shadfar et al. Oral Maxillofac Surg Clin North Am. 2012 Aug.

Abstract

Sleep disordered breathing syndromes in pediatric patients can lead to adverse effects in the cardiovascular system, neurocognitive function, growth, and behavior. These syndromes occur more frequently in patients with craniofacial disorders. A high index of suspicion as well as early recognition, detection, and treatment of these syndromes are considered integral to care of children with craniofacial disorders.
