Abstract
in English, Italian

This draft of the Official Round Table held during the 99th SIO National Congress is an updated review on the diagnostic tools, the importance of polysomnographic recording and a critical analysis of the surgical techniques in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). The review and analysis of available publications is the premise along with a specific analysis of the relationship between OSAS and metabolic and vascular disorders. In addition, the most recent investigations on sleep disorders and altered glucose metabolism are summarised and discussed together with the results of a study by the authors involving a fairly large number of patients with OSAS and diabetes.

Questo testo è un estratto della tavola rotonda ufficiale tenutasi durante il 99o Congresso Nazionale SIO. Si tratta di una revisione aggiornata sugli strumenti diagnostici, sull'importanza della polisonnografia e di un'analisi critica delle tecniche chirurgiche dell'OSAS. La revisione e l'analisi di tutti gli studi costituiscono la premessa e il completamento dei capitoli; particolare attenzione è posta sul rapporto tra OSAS e disturbi metabolici e vascolari. Inoltre, i lavori più recenti su disturbi del sonno ed alterazioni del metabolismo glucidico sono riassunti e discussi insieme ai risultati di uno studio portato avanti dagli autori che coinvolge un discreto numero di pazienti con OSAS e diabete.

Keywords: Cardiovascular diseases; Diabetes; Nasal obstruction; OSAS; Polysomnography.
