Abstract

Objective: To longitudinally investigate the incidence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) following Furlow palatoplasty for velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) in children with cleft palate. Subjects: Ten children, six boys and four girls, mean age 5.1 years, at Furlow palatoplasty. Design: Prospective analysis. Main Outcome Measures: Overnight polysomnographic studies were used to determine the incidence and severity of sleep apneas 1 day prior to Furlow palatoplasty, 1 week postoperatively, and approximately 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Results: None of the patients suffered OSA prior to Furlow palatoplasty. A high incidence of mild OSA (100%) occurred during the early postoperative period (p < .001) but resolved within 3 months in all but two patients (20%). Only one OSA (10%) persisted 6 months postoperatively. Conclusions: Furlow palatoplasty for VPI in children with cleft palate might induce temporary and mild OSA.
