CRESPO VIDAL, Ramón Enrique; ANIAS CALDERON, José M; HERNANDEZ PENA, Odalis  y  ALFONSO MUNOZ, Eulalia. Relación de las afecciones rinofaríngeas obstructivas altas con los trastornos del sueño. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2003, vol.42, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.

In order to prove the effect of surgery on sleep and health status in patients with sleep disorders caused by upper respiratory obstructions, 60 patients referred from the sleep disorders consulting room of "Carlos J. Finlay" Military Central Hospital were studied and surgically treated from January, 1991, to December, 2001. Of them, 50 (90 %) were males and 10 % were females. The deviation of the nasal septum was the most frequent otorrhinolaryngology affection, 36 (60 %), followed by the deviation of the nasal septum associated with other otorrhinolaryngology affection, 10 (16.6 %). 40 patients (66.7 %) had sleep disorders associated with other clinical affections (headache, arterial hypertension, vertigo, sexual dysfunction), and only 20 (33.3 %) had sleep disorders. In 58 (96.7%) of the 60 patients that underwent surgical treatment, sleep disorders were cured or improved, the constructive affections were cured or improved in 57 patients (95 %) and the associated clinical affections were cured or improved in 37 patients (92.5 %)
