Overview

Evaluation of ultrasonographic changes after adenotonsillectomy suggests implications for obstructive sleep apnea management.

Key Points

  • Post-adenotonsillectomy, neck thickness increased significantly in all children with obstructive sleep apnea.
  • Lateral pharyngeal wall thickness decreased significantly in children during the Müller maneuver, indicating airway changes.
  • No associations were found between ultrasonographic parameters and postoperative residual obstructive sleep apnea.
  • Ultrasonographic measurements provide insights but cannot predict surgical outcomes in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea.
