| الوصف: | A 56-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a mass in the floor of the mouth. This patient had been given a diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome at the Department of Respiratory Disease of our hospital. The body mass index was 34.4, indicating slight obesity, and the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) was 38.2/hr. Oral examination revealed a bony eminence arising bilaterally from the mandible anterior to the tongue and extending to the premolar region.After resecting the mandibular eminence, the AHI improved to 20.9/hr. However, since sleepapnea persisted, control of obesity by weight reduction was considered necessary. |
