We present a case of successful long-term use of nasal trumpet for severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in a child with cerebral palsy and complex medical issues. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is frequently seen in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy due to their abnormal airway tone and pulmonary vulnerability. Identifying children with cerebral palsy who are at risk for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is important because its treatment can improve quality of life and seizure control. Although first-line treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is adenotonsillectomy, children with cerebral palsy are more likely to have residual obstructive sleep apnea syndrome postoperatively. Other options such as positive airway pressure therapy and other upper airway surgeries may pose significant challenges and tolerance issues, as in our patient. As demonstrated in our report, the low rate of complications and ease of use make nasal trumpets a potential long-term treatment option for children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome who fail or cannot comply with the traditional treatment options.

Subjective Outcomes

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term subjective outcomes of barbed reposition pharyngoplasty for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) treatment using a specific questionnaire, the Palate Postoperative Problem Score (PPOPS). Methods: 140 patients who underwent barbed reposition pharyngoplasty (BRP) surgery in the Morgagni Pierantoni Hospital of Forlì, Italy were enrolled in the study. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated in a short- and long-term follow-up using the PPOPS questionnaire. The average period of follow-up was 26 months. All patients received the PPOPS questionnaire by telephone in a period between April and August 2019. Results: 51% of patients complained of swallowing problems after surgery. In 91% of cases, the problem cleared up spontaneously. At the time of the interview, only 9% of patients had a residual swallowing difficult. At the time of PPOPS evaluation, rhinolalia was observed in 8% of patients, whereas nose regurgitation was present in 2% of patients. In 20% of patients, the foreign body sensation was present during follow-up. The value of apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) reduced from the preoperative value of 31.5 to the postoperative value of 11.4. Conclusions: BRP surgery proved to be an effective technique, appreciated by the majority of patients. Use of the PPOPS questionnaire has demonstrated that the BRP technique seems to ensure efficacy and lower morbidity, with few complications after surgery.
