Abstract

Two 12-year-old boys with severe sleep apnea syndrome but normal-sized tonsils were satisfactorily corrected by tonsillectomy and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. One of the boys had muscular hypotony as contributing cause of the condition. The other had mandibular hypoplasia in combination with a long soft palate. Thorough preoperative anamnesis and examination in a sleep laboratory are necessary to determine which cases will benefit from surgery in spite of normal-sized tonsils and which surgical procedure will be most helpful.
