阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征(Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome, OSAS)是指一种耳鼻喉科常见疾病,同时也是全人群发病率较高且对患者生活质量影响较大的一种疾病,具体的表现则是指患者在睡眠过程中由于上呼吸道部分阻塞或完全阻塞所导致的睡眠呼吸暂停,对患者的日常生活与工作造成巨大影响,目前OSAS的发病原因与机制目前尚不完全明确,但被主流所接受的观点认为包括上气道的解剖结构异常、上气道扩张肌无力以及呼吸中枢调节异常。对单一的患者而言,常为以上三种因素共同作用的结果,但各因素所占比重不同。一般上气道结构异常为发病基础,而在其中,也有一些少见原因也可引起OSAS,如头颈部的各种良恶性肿瘤等。咽部乳头状瘤是耳鼻喉科常见的良性肿瘤,所以对于咽部乳头状瘤这一头颈部常见肿瘤与OSAS的相关研究进展对目前咽部乳头状瘤患者的诊断与治疗以及对其预后的改善和生活质量的提高具有重要意义。Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common disease in otorhinolaryngology. It is also a disease with a high incidence rate in the whole population and a great impact on the quality of life of patients. The specific performance is that patients have apnea caused by partial or complete obstruction of the upper respiratory tract during sleep, which has a great impact on the daily life and work of patients. At present, the causes and mechanisms of OSAS are not fully understood, but the mainstream view is that they include anatomical abnormalities in the upper airway, upper airway dilation and muscle weakness, and abnormal regulation of the respiratory center. For a single patient, it is often the result of the combined effects of the above three factors, but the proportion of each factor varies. Generally, abnormal upper airway structure is the basis of OSAS, and there are also some rare reasons that can cause OSAS, such as various benign and malignant tu
