Snoring - Learn the Facts

Snoring results from the pharyngeal airway collapsing during inspiration. Snoring
can disrupt sleep, cause a variety of important but nonspecific symptoms, and suggest
the presence of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, which can lead to cor pulmonale
and sudden death. Therefore, the review of systems for a child at any age should
include questions regarding snoring and breathing during sleep. Most normal children
snore at one time or another, and many, particularly those who have nasal allergies,
snore almost nightly.
