We report the first case of bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulator implantation in a patient with Treacher Collins syndrome and very severe obstructive sleep apnea, who was initially intolerant of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment. Novel bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation in combination with CPAP allowed near obliteration of snoring, improved sleep quality, and ability to maintain the CPAP mask in position in the setting of craniofacial changes associated with this condition.

我们报告了首例双侧舌下神经刺激器植入术治疗特雷彻·柯林斯综合征伴严重阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者的病例。该患者最初对持续气道正压通气(CPAP)治疗不耐受。新型双侧舌下神经刺激联合 CPAP 治疗可显著减轻打鼾,改善睡眠质量,并在与该疾病相关的颅面变化的情况下,提高 CPAP 面罩的佩戴舒适度。
