Background: This study examines the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea severity, sleep position, and body weight, particularly focusing on the negative impact of sleeping in a supine position combined with being overweight in a population-based sample.
Methods: The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) was utilized as a marker of OSA severity and sleep position from a standardized overnight polysomnography. Participants were categorized by body mass index (BMI) (kg/m) into normal weight/underweight (<25) and overweight (≥25).

Objectives: The aim of this case-control study was to examine upper airway by acoustic reflection in class II children with large horizontal maxillary overjet compared to children with neutral occlusion.
Material And Methods: The study group included children of 9 to 14 years with class II and large horizontal maxillary overjet (≥ 6 mm) compared to children with neutral occlusion (controls). Acoustic pharyngometry and rhinometry were performed in natural head position.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB) is the consequence of an anatomical and/or functional reduction in upper airway size during sleep. Young patients can also be affected. TROS type 1 (TROS1 ) is most often found in young, non-obese children with no associated comorbidities, presenting with an otorhinolaryngological (ENT) obstacle, generally an enlargement of lymphoid tissue (tonsils and/or adenoids).

Purpose: This narrative review aims to elucidate the anatomical features of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children. By identifying key structures and intervening proactively, we seek to alter craniofacial growth patterns and improve functional outcomes for SDB children.
Methods: The literature on pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (PSDB), pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), anatomical predispositions, and the relationship between skeletal deformity and PSDB was examined using PubMed and Google Scholar databases, covering studies from 2006 to 2024.
