Hypersomnia sleep apnea (HSA) is characterized by apneic episodes during sleep and daytime hypersomnolence. Patients afflicted as a result of upper airway obstruction have been treated traditionally with permanent tracheostomy. Three patients with HSA and mandibular retrognathism are presented. Each patient had a retrognathic mandible that stemmed from a different cause. Surgical advancement of their underdeveloped mandibles corrected the symptoms of HSA rapidly. The literature concerning HSA is reviewed and the advantages of mandibular surgery in selected cases are discussed.
