Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in children is a prevalent yet often overlooked sleep-related breathing disorder marked by repeated upper airway obstruction during sleep. This condition, most commonly caused by adenotonsillar hypertrophy, leads to fragmented sleep, behavioral disturbances, impaired growth, and long-term cardiovascular consequences.This book provides a comprehensive overview of pediatric OSA-covering its epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies. Emphasizing early recognition and multidisciplinary care, it highlights the importance of interventions such as adenotonsillectomy, medical therapy, and orthodontic correction in restoring normal breathing and development.Combining current research insights with practical clinical guidance, this work serves as an essential resource for pediatricians, dentists, and healthcare professionals committed to improving the quality of life and health outcomes of children affected by sleep-disordered breathing.
