ABSTRACT
Sleep-disordered breathing in children can include habitual snoring, obstructive hypoventilation, upper airway resistance syndrome, and obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive hypoventilation in children is characterized by CO₂ retention caused by prolonged partial upper airway obstruction during sleep. To date, there have been few studies regarding the clinical significance and management strategies in pediatric obstructive hypoventilation, although it is a unique feature of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing. In this report, we describe two cases of obstructive hypoventilation that demonstrated improvement following upper airway surgery. These results suggest that upper airway surgery could be an additional treatment modality in obstructive hypoventilation.
