Abstract
PURPOSE: Pediatric patients with Crouzon syndrome have great possibilities of suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is mainly due to midfacial hypoplasia and facial deformities. For most patients, a multidisciplinary and sequential treatment plan is necessary to make for Crouzon syndrome often has different phenotypes of different severity in OSA and facial deformities. Typical patients were selected in this paper to illustrate the necessity of individualized therapy for treating OSA. METHODS: In this paper, we have introduced four Crouzon syndrome children of different severity in suffering from OSA and maxillofacial deformities. Detailed information was given including clinical manifestations, radiological findings, and polysomnography detections. Based on the above findings, different but effective treatment options for these children's OSA problems were adopted, either by surgeries including distraction osteogenesis and craniomaxillofacial surgeries with or without tonsillectomy or by noninvasive continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. RESULTS: Follow-up studies for more than 1 year showed problems of OSA and nocturnal hypoxia of those four patients were all alleviated greatly, as well as maxillofacial deformities. Combined with pre-operative and post-operative orthodontics, one patient also got optimal results in better facial profile and dental occlusion. CONCLUSION: Thus, based on adequate clinical evaluations and patients' conditions including age, disease severity, and esthetic considerations, individualized therapy should be made and performed carefully to obtain optimized results in treating OSA for pediatric Crouzon syndrome patients.
