Palatine Tonsil Size Predicts Upper Airway Obstruction in Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Abstract: Background and Objectives: Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) is widely used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Palatine tonsil hypertrophy is a frequently encountered potential source of upper airway obstruction. Here, we determined whether the pre-surgery size of the palatine tonsil could be used to predict the extent and pattern of upper airway obstruction during DISE of adults with OSA.
