Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder. It usually results from the structural compromise of the upper airway. In patients with OSA, the obstruction predominantly occurs along the pharyngeal airway, and also a variety of tumors have been reported to cause such a condition. We present here the case of a thyroglossal duct cyst causing OSA in adult. This case demonstrates that thyroglossal duct cyst or some kind of mass lesions in the airway lesions should be considered in the differential diagnosis of OSA patients.
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停（OSA）是一种常见疾病。它通常是由上呼吸道结构受损引起的。在 OSA 患者中，阻塞主要发生在咽气道，并且已经报道了多种肿瘤可导致这种情况。我们在此介绍一例甲状舌管囊肿导致成人 OSA 的病例。该病例表明，在 OSA 患者的鉴别诊断中应考虑甲状舌管囊肿或气道病变中的某种肿块病变。
