ABSTRACT

Achondroplasia is the most common form of dwarfism. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, usually caused by an missense mutation of FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3). Clinical features of achondroplasia are well known and include skull enlargement with narrowing of skull base and foramen magnum. These features may lead to respiratory disturbances such as sleep apnea. In this study, the authors experienced a case of operative treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in achondroplasia patent, we report this case with a literature review.
