Reply to comment by odd-42 in Research found among nearly 100 teens who underwent brain scans, those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) tended to have thinner tissue at the brain's surface, and some signs of inflammation in a brain area key to memory and learning. by Wagamaga
Yes!! I know a developmental pediatrician. She says it’s her SOP to order a sleep study when a child presents with ADHD symptoms. When they’re young, CPAPs are not a good idea (the whole “skull not being solidified yet” issue. When the interventions like tonsils and adenoids removed improve the OSA, the ADHD symptoms can improve a lot too.
