By Jihene Marrakchi, Jouini Selima, Sifaoui Aymen and 1 others.
Abstract
Sleep disorders include a wide variety of conditions that can have serious consequences on general health. The most common sleep problem related to breathing is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) manifestations of this pathology are numerous including balance disorders. Understanding the impact of OSA on the vestibular function in Meniere's disease, vestibular migraine, and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo ensure a systematic screening and an appropriate care.
