Treatment of atresia of nasopharynx snoring

Clinic of Central sleep apnea and mixed sleep apnea, both of these situations, are more or less with the brain a bit.

Reason:

Snoring caused by a number of reasons, of the central nervous system, peripheral (obstructive), mixed-.

1, upper respiratory tract stricture or blockage of any anatomical parts of the upper respiratory tract stricture or blockage, can result in obstructive sleep apnea. From anatomical terms, there are 3 places above the laryngeal stenosis-prone and block the nasal and nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal and the soft palate and tongue root. Clinical findings, septum, nasal polyps, Hypertrophic rhinitis, nasal tumors, adenoid hypertrophy, nasopharyngeal atresia or stenosis, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, tonsil hypertrophy, long uvular, pharyngeal muscle paralysis, hypertrophy of tongue, deformities of the jaw, throat cartilage softening and so on, can cause snoring.

2, obesity, fat hypertrophy of tongue, soft palate, uvula and pharynx wall for excessive fat deposition, easily lead to airway blockage. Obesity lung volume significantly decreased, resulting in obesity hypoventilation syndrome.

3, endocrine disorders such as Acral hypertrophy caused tongue increased, and so on.

4, older tissue relaxation, muscle tension, and lead to relaxation of throat wall, collapse, causing snoring.

Treatment:

1, non-surgical treatment

A, adjust the sleep posture, use side.

B, drug treatment is not ideal.

C, weight loss

D, nasal positive airway pressure ventilation

2, surgical treatment if the cause clear, should in principle be operative place causes, such as removal of nasal polyps, tonsillectomy, and so on. In recent years, often using uvula velopharyngeal molding or palatopharyngeal surgery for treatment of snoring.

3, laser, radio-are now used to treat snoring, but it is not suitable for all patients!

At present, the treatment of snoring the most advanced solution is the use of low temperature plasma ablation, the nasal patency, widening of throat, achieve the purpose of treatment of snoring, small pain, faster recovery, higher cost.
