ABSTRACT To summarize the results of a study of the clinical and polygrapic features of sleep in children with pathologic conditions of the tonsillar ring and obstructive sleep apnea. Tonsillar hypertrophy is the most common cause of obstructive sleep apnea in children. Using the data of overnight polysomnographic study and/or nocturnal pulse oximetry, groups of patients were distinguished depending on the presence and severity of their sleep breathing disorders. The effectiveness of adenotomy, adenotonsillotomy and/or adenotonsillectomy in children is demonstrated, depending on the severity of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Evaluation of breathing in sleeping children by polygraphic methods is necessary for early detection of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and monitoring the effectiveness of surgical treatment.
