[Pharyngeal video-fibroscopy: value in the management of apneic snoring].
The pharyngeal video fibroscopy (P.V.F.) should complete the classical diagnostical management of each snoring associated with obstructive sleep apnea. Easily made on a seated awake patient the P.V.F. is the one dynamical pharyngeal procedure. It also let see the snoring and reproduce the upper airway obstruction. The Müller test seats the level of this obstruction, helps the surgeon in the choice of the procedure and should reduce the failure rate.
