Introduction: Recently, imaging study in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has been improving on detection of severity and its classification. Some researchers focused on imaging study that describe pharyngeal morphology in patients with OSAS. Materials and methods: We report on the changes of upper airway volume in patient with OSAS before and after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) with the use of three-dimensional ... Read more

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in velopharyngeal and glossopharyngeal airway morphology and volume after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in three adult obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patients who had bilateral large tonsils using three-dimensional computed tomography. Case Report. All three patients (one male and two females) who presented with a history of heavy snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness ... Read more
