Obstructive sleep apnea is a highly prevalent disease across the lifespan and imposes substantial morbidities, some of which may become irreversible if the condition is not diagnosed and treated in a timely fashion. Here, we focus on the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea, describe some of the elements that by virtue of their presence facilitate the emergence of disrupted sleep and breathing and its downstream consequences, and also discuss the potential approaches to diagnosis in at-risk children.
