Lipomas are rare, and they rarely arise in deep soft tissue. Only few cases associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have been reported. Because of radiologic examinations (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) in a case with OSA, a rarely observed large lipoma was encountered in the retropharyngeal region. In the case that was followed, the apnea-hypopnea index was measured. The radiologic examination of the upper airway of the case with OSA symptoms was presented.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder among children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study aims to determine the prevalence of OSA in children with ADHD, compare the differences in clinical characteristics between children with ADHD-OSA and those without OSA (ADHD-nonOSA), and to identify the correlation between OSA and ADHD in children.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 524 children with ADHD, aged 6-12 years, at the Vietnam National Children's Hospital from October 2022 to September 2023.
Background: Polysomnography (PSG) is resource-intensive but remains the gold standard for diagnosing Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). We aimed to develop a screening tool to better allocate resources by identifying individuals at higher risk for OSA, overcoming limitations of current tools that may under-diagnose based on self-reported symptoms.
Methods: A total of 884 patients (490 diagnosed with OSA) were included, which was divided into the training, validation, and test sets.

Patients with OSA undergo frequent awakenings during the sleep cycle and find it impossible to get restorative sleep. Individuals are extremely fatigued, sleepy, and irritable throughout the day.
