title: Sleep apnea syndrome in an adult patient with mandibular hypoplasia.
abstract: Sleep apnea syndrome is a condition which may be related to mandibular hypoplasia of a congenital as well as developmental nature. It is extremely unusual in adults; however, a case of sleep apnea syndrome gradually developing in an adult patient is illustrated in this report. Correction by means of maxillary and mandibular osteotomies was indicated.
