摘要：

We have performed sleep nasendoscopy on 54 adult snorers in whom obstructive sleep apnoea had been excluded by an overnight sleep study. The purpose of the study was to identify the site or sites of noise production in each case. This was successfully achieved in 50 of the 54 and 70% showed palatal flutter snoring only. In a further 20%, palatal flutter snoring was combined with evidence of noise generation at another site. The second site was supraglottic in 10%, tonsillar in 8% and tongue base in 2%. The tongue base was also the sole site of noise generation in 8% and the epiglottis was the sole site in 2%. This study suggests that sleep nasendoscopy can identify different mechanisms of snoring in individual patients. This information is likely to be of use in formulating a logical surgical treatment plan.
