The influence of tonsillectomy on obstructive sleep apnea children with malocclusion

“…This suggests that tonsillar enlargement even in the absence of PTLD is common in this population. Thus pediatric liver transplant recipients are at increased risk for obstructive sleep apnea and partial upper airway obstruction, since tonsil and adenoid hypertrophy are the most common cause of these disorders in children 15 .
