Antrochoanal polyps (ACPS) are uncommon in children presenting to the pediatric clinic. They commonly present with unilateral nasal obstruction. ACPS presenting as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a young child is an uncommon initial presentation. A high level of suspicion is needed to diagnose OSA in young children as the presenting symptoms may be nonspecific and sometimes misleading.
上颌窦后鼻孔息肉（ACPS）在儿科门诊就诊的儿童中并不常见。它们通常表现为单侧鼻塞。ACPS在幼儿中表现为阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）是一种不常见的初始表现。由于幼儿OSA的症状可能不具有特异性且有时具有误导性，因此需要高度怀疑才能诊断。
