Abstract

Aims: SLEEP APNEA is defined as an intermittent cessation of airflow at the nose and mouth during sleep. SLEEP APNEA syndrome refers to a clinical disorder that arises from recurrent apneas during sleep. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of ANATOMICAL ABNORMALITIES of throat and nose in patients with obstructive SLEEP APNEA.Materials & Methods: The participants of the study were 62 patients dissatisfied with sleep disorders that referred to one of Tehran’s hospitals during 2008 who were referred to sleep lab by physician and the diagnosis of obstructive SLEEP APNEA was confirmed for them after conducting the POLYSUMNOGRAPHY. The researcher-made questionnaire of patients’ demographic information and risk factors of SLEEP APNEA were completed. After collection, data was analyzed by SPSS 16, Pearson correlation coefficient and Chi-Square test. Results: There was no significant correlation between both male and female groups in terms of BMI (body mass index), neck circumference, nasal septum deviation, nasal turbinate hypertrophy, nasal polyps, overjet of upper jaw, retrognathia, macroglossia, lateral pharynx constriction, mallampati classification; but tonsillar hypertrophy was significantly higher in males (p=0.02).There was a significant correlation between severity of SLEEP APNEA and nasal septum deviation, macroglossia and also mallampati classification (p<0.05).Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between both male and female groups in terms of BMI (body mass index), neck circumference, nasal septum deviation, nasal turbinate hypertrophy, nasal polyps, overjet of upper jaw, retrognathia, macroglossia, lateral pharynx constriction, mallampati classification; but tonsillar hypertrophy is significantly higher in males.
