The influence of some types of hipertrophia of posterior veil of the soft palate and uvula on snoring

In this article the clinic-pathologic findings are given. This research was done in order to establish the type of hypertrophy of posterior veil of the soft palate and uvula in a obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patient and snoring against the background obeseness. Two types of the adipose tissue of velum palatinum were determined: 1) local agglutination of the adipose tissue in shape of islands (it is pathognomonic for the 1-2 obeseness degree); 2) the dissection of muscular fibers by the adipose tissue on the separate groups (it is pathognomonic for the 3-4 obeseness degree). The development of glandular tissue in the palate in the shape of small muciparous and salivary glands (2/3 of the findings) and in the shape of big glands, which are situated in submucosal panniculus, with enlarged ducts, which are fulfilled with thick secretion.
