Adenotonsillectomy remains the first choice in treatment, with a need for subsequent clinical and polysomnographic reassessment in selected cases to determine residual sleep-disordered breathing. Residual obstructive sleep apnea is more likely in patients with craniofacial abnormalities or obesity. It may require the use of a positive airway pressure breathing device. Topical corticosteroids, leukotriene antagonists, weight reduction, and positional therapy also play a role in ameliorating childhood obstructive sleep apnea. The published evidence for the efficacy of various treatment modalities consists largely of case-controlled studies and case reports.
