ObjectivesThe goal of this report was to find the frequency of synchronous airway lesions (SAL) identified during microdirect laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy (MDLB) that influenced treatment decisions beyond the information provided by drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) alone in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) at a tertiary care pediatric hospital.MethodsThis was a retrospective chart review of all pediatric patients who underwent drug induced sleep endoscopy in conjunction with direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy as part of a comprehensive airway evaluation for obstructive sleep apnea at a tertiary care pediatric hospital.ResultsThree hundred thirty-five patients with obstructive sleep apnea were evaluated with both sleep endoscopy and direct laryngoscopy with bronchoscopy. Five percent of patients had SAL identified on MDLB contributing to airway obstruction. Three patients (0.9%) who underwent MDLB for OSA required surgical correction of SAL that was identified.ConclusionIn a limited subset of patients, direct laryngoscopy with bronchoscopy provides additional positive findings to aid with treatment planning for obstructive sleep apnea.
