5.A case report on obstructive sleep Apnea in a pediatric patient with Achondroplasia
Eljohn C. Yee ; Agnes T. Remulla
Acta Medica Philippina 2020;54(Online):1-7
A 22-month-old male diagnosed with achondroplasia was referred for difficulty in sleeping and was diagnosed to have severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on polysomnography (PSG) (AHI 50.1). This patient had macrocephaly, midface hypoplasia, flat nasal bridge, relative macroglossia and enlarged palatine and adenoid tonsils. The patient underwent bilateral tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy without complication. Six months post-op, repeat polysomnography revealed a still severe (AHI 15.7) OSA with preferential recovery of REM and N3 sleep. Further outpatient follow-up and management is warranted. OSA despite being common in this subset of patients remains overlooked and not prioritized because of the multitude of coexisting concerns. Management of OSA in children with achondroplasia shows improved sleep structure and is helpful for further growth and development.

8.Post-tonsillectomy dysgeusia: A case report.
Lawrence Y. Maliwat ; Rosario R. Ricalde
Philippine Journal of Surgical Specialties 2021;76(2):87-91
The authors report a case of post-tonsillectomy dysgeusia and discuss
the pathogenesis, diagnostics, as well as treatment options done in
several reported cases. A 37-year-old man who was diagnosed with
recurrent tonsillitis underwent bilateral palatine tonsillectomy, and
on the second post-operative day, post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage
ensued which required emergency hemostasis at the operating room.
Intra-operative findings include active bleeding on the left tongue
base, wherein hemostasis was achieved via electrodissection. After the
procedure, patient noted a disturbance to taste that persisted for several
months. Dysgeusia is an unusual complication of tonsillectomy,
occurring in 0.3% to 9% of cases.

Acta Medica Philippina 2024;58(Early Access 2024):1-6
Objective:
Our study aimed to identify and describe pulmonary complications and its associated risk factors in children with suspected or confirmed obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who underwent tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy in a tertiary government hospital.
Methods:
We conducted a retrospective cohort study. Medical charts of pediatric patients with suspected or
confirmed OSA who were admitted for tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020 were retrieved and reviewed. Information of the individual patients including the demographic data, clinical profile, polysomnography results, and presence of postoperative pulmonary complications were recorded. Descriptive statistics was utilized to present continuous data while frequency and percentage for categorical data. Fisher exact test was used to compare the demographic profile of patients with postoperative pulmonary complications from those without.
Results:
A total of 90 patient records were analyzed. The mean age of the patient population was 7.87 years, 55.6% were male, 17.8% of patients were classified as obese. Thirty-four children had preoperative polysomnography and of these, 47.1% were classified as severe. Only two (2.2%) patients had postoperative pulmonary complications, which were bronchospasm and desaturation, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences noted in comparing the clinicodemographic profile of patients with postoperative pulmonary complications from those without complications.
Conclusion
Our results showed that most pediatric patients with suspected or confirmed OSA who underwent
adenotonsillectomy did not have pulmonary complications.

10.Post-operative bleeding in tonsillectomy versus tonsillectomy with fossa closure in a tertiary military hospital: A cohort study
Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2020;35(1):36-38
Objective:
To determine the incidence of post-operative bleeding among patients who underwent tonsillectomy alone versus tonsillectomy with fossa closure at the Victoriano Luna Medical Center from January 2015 to December 2017.
Methods:
Design: Retrospective Cohort Study.
Setting: Tertiary Military Hospital.
Patients: Medical records of 83 patients that underwent tonsillectomy under the Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery between January 2015 to December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed for data regarding sex, age, tonsillectomy with or without fossa closure and post-operative bleeding. Cases of tonsillectomy alone versus tonsillectomy with fossa closure were compared (particularly with respect to post-operative bleeding), tabulated and statistically analyzed using risk ratio and t-test.
Results:
There were 57 cases of tonsillectomy alone versus 26 cases of tonsillectomy with fossa closure. The incidence of bleeding in all cases of tonsillectomy whether tonsillectomy alone or with fossa closure was 4.8%. The incidence of bleeding was higher in cases of tonsillectomy with fossa closure at 11.5% (versus 1.8% in tonsillectomy alone). Post-operative bleeding was 0.1 times more likely to occur in patients who underwent tonsillectomy alone than those who underwent tonsillectomy with fossa closure but there was no statistically significant difference in the risk of post-operative bleeding between the two.
Conclusion
Although the incidence of bleeding was higher in cases of tonsillectomy with fossa closure, our results suggest that there is no statistically significant difference in risk for postoperative bleeding between tonsillectomy alone or tonsillectomy with fossa closure.
