Description
Summary:Highlights • Drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) allows the planning of surgical treatment of pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). • OSA persists after tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy (T&A) in about third of cases. • The two-thirds of naive cases presents hypertrophic tonsils and/or adenoids at DISE. • DISE may be of benefit when clinical evaluation is unremarkable or in cases of OSA after T&A.
