We report the case of a 15-year-old boy with obstructive sleep apnea and obesity who was treated since the age of 5 with nasal continuous positive airway pressure. Due to the long-term use of a nasal mask, the child developed a mid-face hypoplasia. Chronic use of a nasal mask for home ventilation in children should always be associated with regular evaluations of maxillomandibular growth.
我们报告了一名15岁患有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停和肥胖症的男孩的病例，该男孩自5岁起就接受鼻持续气道正压通气治疗。由于长期使用鼻面罩，该患儿出现了面中部发育不全。儿童长期在家使用鼻面罩进行通气时，应始终定期评估上颌下颌的生长情况。
