title: [Sleep apnea syndrome with complications which were reversed following adeno-tonsillectomy].
abstract: A five-year-old boy is reported with severe upper respiratory tract obstruction and sleep apnea that was associated with reversible cardio-pulmonary complications. Adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy resulted in a spectacular improvement of the symptomatology. A polysomnographic exam confirms this evolution.
