Abstract: Short lingual frenula and obstructive sleep apnea are common disorders in children. Studies have shown that a short lingual frenulum is a risk factor for sleep apnea, and it can cause early oral development disorders in children, lead to dental and maxillofacial deformities, and increase the risk of upper airway collapse during sleep. Short lingual frenula should be detected and treated early in children to prevent more severe complications. In clinical practice, the correlation between sleep apnea and a short lingual frenulum should always be considered. This article systematically reviews the correlation between a short lingual frenulum and obstructive sleep apnea in children.

Key words: Short lingual frenulum, Sleep apnea, Dental and maxillofacial deformities, Upper airway collapse

[15] Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV), the most common peripheral vestibular disease, has a high incidence and prevalence. It mostly occurs at night or during morning awakening, suggesting that it is closely related to sleep characteristics. We reviewed and summarized the relevant literature of the two diseases in recent years. We found that sleep posture was closely related to the occurrence, development, treatment, and prognosis of BPPV, and that different types of sleep disorders also individually affected the occurrence of the disease. This article was aimed to help raise awareness regarding the correlation between the two diseases as well as provide methods and ideas for the diagnosis and treatment..
