[Anatomic abnormalities within upper airways in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome].

In order to determine a proper method of the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) it is essential to demonstrate anatomical abnormalities of upper airways. In this study we would like to estimate how often these anatomical abnormalities occur and what is their influence on OSAS severity. 113 patients underwent laryngological examination, the nasal structure, palate and pharynx were evaluated. The anatomical abnormalities of upper airways were found in 86% patients. The most frequent abnormalities found were nasal disorders, however they were not correlated with OSAS severity. Anatomical abnormalities in more than one level of upper airways were found in 50% of the patients and in those patients OSAS symptoms were the most severe. This may explain why the most frequently performed operations in OSAS patients are not very effective.
