Compared to patients without OSAHS or those with mild disease, RNFL thickness was lower in patients with moderate/severe OSAHS. Lowest saturation of oxygen in the moderate/severe OSAHS group correlated with decreased RNFL thickness. Patients with moderate and severe OSAHS are at increased risk for glaucoma.

This long-term study has demonstrated that the RF turbinoplasty for allergic rhinitis appears to be an effective and safe tool for treating allergic rhinitis refractory to medical therapy.

CT images including the tongue base allow precise measurement of LTT thickness. LTT > 2.7 mm was not identified in patients without OSAHS or LPR. The mean LTT for patients with LPR and/or OSAHS was significantly greater than for patients without either disease.

Postoperative nasal packing aggravated measures of OSA in patients with mild OSA but not in patients with moderate/severe OSA.

Thermoplastic MADs are a relatively inexpensive treatment alternative for patients with OSAHS who fail/refuse CPAP and upper airway surgery. They can be easily fitted in the otolaryngology clinic. Long-term compliance, efficacy, and safety are unknown at this time.
