ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the correlation between the polysomnographic findings and the degree of obstruction caused by adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy in children with clinical history of apnea.@*METHOD@#Retrospectively studied the children who were diagnosed clinically of, obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and underwent polysomnography and endoscopy. Patients were divided to OSAHS and non-OSAHS group according to polysomnographic findings.@*RESULT@#Ninety-four children were involved in the study population, and 63 children of them were male. The mean age of the children at the time of inclusion in the study was 6.7 years. 36 children (38.3%) diagnosed OSAHS clinically had normal polysomnographic findings. No differences were found between children with PSG-documented OSAHS and others. Tonsillar and/or adenoid hypertrophy were not correlated to more severe apnea among enrolled children.@*CONCLUSION@#There was no significant correlation between polysomnographic and clinical findings in children with OSAHS.
