title: [One case of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome with pulmonary hypertension].
abstract: The clinical manifestation included snoring and mouth breathing for 2 years, repeated coughing and shortness of breath in action for more than 1 year. Physical examination of oral cavity showed tonsils were in grade III. The endoscopy showed 2/3 of postnaris were blocked by the adenoids. The preoperative ultrasonic cardiogram revealed the right atrial and right ventricular dilatation, pulmonary artery widened. The preoperative polysomnography (PSG) showed apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 28.5 events an hour, and the lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2) was 39%. The patient was diagnosed as severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome with pulmonary hypertension. The postoperative PSG showed the AHI was 11.7 events an hour, and the LSaO2 was 86%. The ultrasonic cardiogram at 5 months after surgery didn't show any abnormalities.
