Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea through Distraction Osteogenesis of the Mandible: a Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
The underlying pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea is beginning to be unraveled better in recent years. Mandibular hypoplasia is now considered to be a significant reason for this disorder. Mandibular hypoplasia can result from a variety of causes including congenital like, mandibulofacial dysostosis, and acquired conditions like TMJ ankylosis. The use of distraction osteogenesis for the maxil lofacial skeleton is a relatively new concept. We present a case of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome due to mandibular hypoplasia result ing from a TMJ ankylosis, treated with distraction osteogenesis of the mandible.

Case Report: Two 53- and 51-year-old male cases with daytime sleepiness and opium abuse and severe sleep apnea and long respiratory events duration (200 and 275 seconds respectively) noted in polysomnography were reported at Ebn-e-Sina and Razavi hospita...
متن کاملExternal versus Internal Distraction Devices in Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Craniofacial Anomalies
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea is often associated with congenital craniofacial malformations due to hypoplastic mandible and decreased pharyngeal airway. In this study, we will compare external and internal distraction devices for mandibular lengthening in terms of effectiveness, results, patient comfort, and complications. METHODS Thirty-seven patients were treated by bilateral mandibul...
