Summary:Summary The obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is common in children and results in several complications when untreated. Considering that children are undergoing important brain development, recent research has focused on neurocognitive and behavioural (NCB) complications of OSAS. Studies have shown that treatment of paediatric OSAS may improve a child's long-term cognitive and social potential and school performance. There is demonstrated benefit in terms of behaviour, attention, and social interactions, as well as likely improvement in cognitive abilities with academic and social achievements.
