Abstract:
:Otolaryngologists deal primarily with the disorders of obstructive sleep apnea and primary snoring. It is important to realize that although these two disorders are common in the general population, they make up only a small segment of the entire field of sleep disorders medicine. This article attempts to introduce the otolaryngologist to the complexity of this field, help to gain respect and understanding of those practitioners dealing with this entire field, and learn why there is such a broad appeal of this field of medicine to so many subspecialists. Also presented are a table describing the classification of sleep disorders and a short tribute to those individuals who founded this relatively new field of medicine.
