This is the case of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, which can suffer both children and adults, but with important etiopathogenical differences: clinical, and therapeutical between the two ages groups, which we must have in mind. Report of differential considerations between the 2 age-groups that we consider more relevants in this syndrome, that every time is more and more seen in clinical practice.
