W P Potsic. Pediatr Clin North Am. 1989 Dec.

Abstract

Obstructive sleep disorders and apnea are commonly seen in children of all ages. The obstruction usually causes snoring and varying periods of interrupted breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep disorders cause multiple physiologic disturbances and should be treated before they become severe.
