Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are relatively common disorders, although the true incidence and prevalence of these disorders is difficult to assess.

Abstract


Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) includes snoring, upper airway resistance syndromes (UARS), mild, moderate, and severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and a myriad of chronic illness-related sleep disorders such as hypoventilation syndromes and Cheyne Stokes breathing (Davidson,2005).
The surgeon’ diagnostic challenge is to determine the severity of the illness, the underlying anatomic obstructions, and then decide who requires continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and who might benefit from surgical intervention, both for snoring and for OSA (Davidson, 2005).
As the interest in sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) had increased, various attempts had been made to assess the upper airway anatomy in patients with this relatively frequent disorder (Friedman, 2009).
Upper airway shape is critical in determining airflow and the function of upper airway muscles. Cross-sectional area is critical in determining upper airway resistance(Leiter, 1996).
From the surgical viewpoint, the clear establishment of the obstructive sites is essential for the planning of effective treatment
