Ablation of excess mucosa around aryepiglottic folds during drug-induced sleep endoscopy to treat obstructive sleep apnoea: a case report

Although the pathophysiological mechanisms linking redundant supraglottic mucosa to obstructive sleep apnoea remain poorly understood, drug-induced sleep endoscopy has proven to be a valuable diagnostic tool. The authors advocate for routine airway examination extending to the larynx to identify patients with this condition.
