The clinical features of a 5-year-old patient with osteopetrosis and severe obstructive sleep apnea are presented. The patient responded to tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, uvulectomy, and tracheostomy. The tracheostomy was later removed. Osteopetrosis, while rare, may be added to the list of causes of obstructive sleep apnea.
本文介绍了一名患有骨质石化症和严重阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的5岁患者的临床特征。该患者接受扁桃体切除术、腺样体切除术、悬雍垂切除术和气管造口术后症状有所改善。气管造口术后来被移除。骨质石化症虽然罕见，但可能是阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的病因之一。
