N2 - Significant advances have been made in the context of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) in the past several years, and are clearly shifting the paradigm in many of the aspects related to the clinical evaluation and treatment of this highly prevalent pediatric condition. This review highlights some of the most salient studies that have undoubtedly contributed to the shifts and evolution in our understanding of POSA. A comprehensive and integrative summary of the published research papers tackling the etiology of POSA, and its pathological sequelae will be presented along with recent updates in POSA diagnosis and treatment.
