Abstract:

The association between children malocclusion and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome has been gradually accepted. Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome is a common kind of pediatric sleep breathing disease. In our clinical practice，we find many，malocclusions in children have been accompanied by OSAHS. Diagnosis and management of children obstructive sleep apnea syndrome need multidisciplinary cooperation. The plysicians at first diagnosis who have the knowledge of sleep breathing can make early diagnosis and develop individualized treatment programs，which helps children growth development to move towards normality.

摘要：

儿童错牙合畸形与阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征（OSAHS）的相关性正日益得到重视。OSAHS是常见的儿童睡眠呼吸疾病，正畸临床中也常发现许多错牙合畸形儿童伴有OSAHS症状。儿童OSAHS的诊断和治疗需要多学科合作，初诊医生如果具备睡眠呼吸相关知识，就能做到早期发现、早期诊断，并制定个性化治疗方案，有助于儿童面部及整体生长发育尽早回到正常轨道。
