OSA in children is a frequent disease with a 1-4% prevalence rate. It imposes significant morbidity, causing neurobehavioral, cardiovascular and endocrine complications. The impairment of nasal breathing with increased nasal resistance has a well documented negative impact on early childhood maxilla mandibular development making the upper airway smaller and might lead to adult OSA after puberty.
