Resumen
Introducción

La videofibrosomnoscopia es una técnica que permite la visualización de la faringe de un paciente al que se le ha inducido el sueño farmacológicamente. De este modo se puede diagnosticar la o las zonas causantes de la vibración y colapso de los pacientes con roncopatía crónica

Material y métodos

La prueba se realizó a un total de 51 pacientes. A todos se les realizó una anamnesis estándar y una exploración otorrinolaringológica como parte del diagnóstico habitual

Resultados

La zona de obstrucción más frecuentemente encontrada fue el velo del paladar en el 90,4%, seguido de la base de la lengua en el 38,5%. El colapso multinivel se dio en el 60,7%. No se han hallado correlaciones entre la obstrucción hallada en la consulta y la vista durante la VFS

Conclusiones

La VFS es una técnica útil en el diagnóstico del paciente con roncopatía y es aconsejable su utilización para saber con certeza el tipo de obstrucción del paciente

Abstract
Introduction

Sleep endoscopy is a technique that allows a direct visualization of the pharynx during drug-induced sleep. It allows an assessment of the anatomical site of obstruction or vibration in habitual snorers

Materials and methods

A total of 51 patients underwent sleep endoscopy. All answered a standard questionnaire and underwent an otolaryngological exam as a part of the diagnostic procedure

Results

The most frequent site of obstruction was the palate in 90.4%, followed by the base of the tongue in 38.5%. Obstruction at multiple levels was found in 60.7% of patients. No correlations were found between the level of the obstruction found in the ENT examination and the one found during the sleep endoscopy

Conclusions

Sleep endoscopy is useful for the assessment of the usual snorer and we recomend it to label the patient´s obstruction
