Abstract
We performed an analysis of the characteristics of and tendency towards snoring in children, using lateral X-ray imaging of the head following examination of cephalometric roentgenography and a clinical examination. As for surgical indications, based on our experience, we suggest that treatment such as tonsillectomy or adenotomy has been effective for pediatric patients complaining of snoring and sleep breathing disorders. We found that cephalometric analysis was not useful for children although it is useful for adults.
