Snoring and Sleep Apnoea
Prof. Dr. H. Hakan CoşkunENT – Head and Neck Surgeon · Bursa, Türkiye
In Brief
Snoring results from vibration of narrowed upper airway tissues during sleep. When breathing pauses occur, obstructive sleep apnoea is present – a condition linked to hypertension, cardiovascular disease and daytime sleepiness.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis is based on ENT examination, polysomnography and, when needed, drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). Treatment options include lifestyle changes, CPAP, oral appliances and site-specific surgery of the nose, palate, tonsils or tongue base.
