Alternations in pharyngeal structure and function are considered fundamental in the pathogenesis of snoring or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The physiological function of the uvula as a dynamic sealing of the nasopharynx prevents a "craniocaudal aspiration" during deglutition. The oropharyngeal soft tissues and the uvula are known to play an important role in affecting the oropharyngeal airflow resistance but studies about alterations in the histomorphological uvula structure are controversial.
