Sleep-disordered breathing, particularly the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, is common during childhood. Complications include neurocognitive deficits, growth failure, and pulmonary hypertension. Nevertheless, sleep-disordered breathing is often unrecognized in children. New syndromes, such as the upper airway resistance syndrome, have recently been described. Polysomnography is invaluable for the evaluation of sleep-disordered breathing. Advances in diagnosis and management can alleviate…

[Sleep-disordered Breathing].
TLDR
Correct and child-oriented diagnostics are essential to enable adequate therapy in paediatric sleep disordered breathing studies in children.
Scoring Methods of Polysomnography for Diagnosis of Sleep Apnea in Adolescents
TLDR
Sleep apnea is the most common pediatric sleep disorder, which is associated with serious neurocognitive, behavioral, growth, and cardiovascular abnormalities in children, and the pathophysiology of childhood sleep apnea has yet to be elucidated.
Sleep-Disordered Breathing
TLDR
Sleep-disordered breathing is highly prevalent and grossly underrecognized, and the impact of sleep therapies on highly prevalent neurologic disorders associated with substantial morbidity and health care costs is becoming increasingly recognized.
Evolution of Sleep from Birth to Adolescence and Sleep Disorders in Children
TLDR
This chapter describes the evolution of sleep from birth through adolescence including polysomnographic findings and deals with sleep-related breathing disorders in children including obstructive sleep apnea, hypoventilation and upper airway resistance syndromes, central sleep Apnea, and primary snoring.
Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Pediatric Hypersomnia
TLDR
It is crucial that children suspected of sleep apnea due to nighttime snoring symptoms and/or daytime deficits and physical exam findings be evaluated with polysomnography to ensure accurate diagnosis.
Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders of Childhood: Description and Clinical Picture, Diagnosis, and Treatment Approaches
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and anesthetic management.
TLDR
Pre- and postoperative sedation must be performed cautiously and patients must be watched closely with respect to airway obstruction and hypoventilation, and difficult intubation must always be considered.
Sleep-disordered breathing in children with cardiomyopathy.
TLDR
Sleep-disordered breathing is common in children with cardiomyopathy and the severity of cardiac dysfunction, as measured by left ventricular end diastolic volume index and left vent cardiac end systolic volumeIndex, is associated with central sleep apnea.
Utility of brain MRI in children with sleep‐disordered breathing
TLDR
To investigate the utility of a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in children with sleep‐disordered breathing, classified as isolated obstructive sleep apnea in the absence of adenotonsillar hypertrophy, OSA with coexisting CSA of unclear etiology is investigated.
Sleep-disordered breathing in children with congenital muscular dystrophies.

TLDR
Whether every child with the symptoms and signs of a sleep-related breathing disorder should undergo Polysomnography to confirm the diagnosis of OSAS prior to T&A is examined.
Sleep apnea in eight children.
TLDR
Eight children, 5 to 14 years of age, were diagnosed by means of nocturnal polygraphic monitoring with a sleep apnea syndrome similar to that seen in adults, and surgery may eliminate the clinical symptomatology.

TLDR
Clinical features of OSAHS diagnosed by polysomnography in otherwise healthy children, recruited from patients referred by primary care and otorhinolaryngology physicians for evaluation of snoring and difficulty breathing are examined.
Sleep architecture and respiratory disturbances in children with obstructive sleep apnea.
TLDR
It is concluded that children with OSAS have normal sleep stage distribution, and that apnea worsens over the course of the night, independent of the changing amounts of REM sleep.
Sleep and breathing patterns in patients with Prader Willi syndrome (PWS): effects of age and gender.
TLDR
As a group, patients with Prader Willi syndrome demonstrated pathological somnolence as measured by MSLT, which correlated with nocturnal sleep efficiency but not withNocturnal REM latency, hypothesized that the abnormal sleep findings in PWS reflect an underlying hypothalamic dysfunction characteristic of this syndrome.
Signs of Airway Obstruction During Sleep and Behavioral, Developmental, and Academic Problems
TLDR
Children with behavioral, developmental, or academic problems had a significantly later bedtime hour, briefer duration of total sleep, longer night awakenings, and an increased latency to sleep, as compared to children without those problems.
Sleep studies and supportive ventilatory treatment in patients with congenital muscle disorders.
TLDR
Treatment with nasal ventilation is effective in reversing the nocturnal respiratory failure without significant disturbance to life style and it is important to be vigilant for sleep hypoventilation in these patients.
Determinants of growth in children with the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
Inability of clinical history to distinguish primary snoring from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in children.
TLDR
It is concluded that primary snoring in children cannot be reliably distinguished from childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome by clinical history alone.
Sleep and neuromuscular disease
TLDR
Sleep studies using ambulatory equipment such as the EdenTrace II are an easy and effective means of identifyingSleep-disordered breathing in patients with neuromuscular disorders and, given the high frequency of sleep-disorder breathing in this sample, should be performed on most patients if sleep- Disordered breathing is to be identified early.
