Obstructive Sleep Apnea in a Patient with CHARGE Syndrome.

Abstract
CHARGE syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by choanal atresia, coloboma of the eye, and ear and cranial nerve abnormalities. We report a child with CHARGE syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea. We highlight difficulties in discerning obstructive sleep apnea-related symptoms from typical features of CHARGE syndrome. Treatment options are discussed with regard to our patient. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy improved physical symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea in the patient.
