Parotid Tumours

Two cases of deep lobe parotid tumours extending into the parapharyngeal space and causing obstructive sleep apnoea are described. Post-operatively, marked improvements in nocturnal hypoxic episodes and the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea were seen. Although minor salivary gland pleomorphic adenomas have been described as a cause of airway compromise, pleomorphic adenomata arising from the deep lobe of the parotid, causing proven obstructive sleep apnoea, have not previously been documented. The anatomy and common pathologies of the parapharyngeal space are discussed.

Mandibular Retrognathia

The surgical management of paediatric patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis, mandibular retrognathia and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is challenging. We report a nine-year-old boy who presented to the Department of Oral Health, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2016 with complaints of limited mouth opening, loud snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness. He was diagnosed with TMJ ankylosis, mandibular retrognathia and severe OSA. The patient initially underwent mandibular distraction and, subsequently, release of the TMJ ankylosis and rib graft reconstruction. The overall patient outcome was successful, with improvement in OSA-related symptoms, good facial symmetry and adequate mouth opening.Keywords: Temporomandibular Joint Disorders; Temporomandibular Ankylosis; Retrognathia; Obstructive Sleep Apnea; Case Report; Oman.
