In recent years, a relatively high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients following radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC) has been reported; however, little is known regarding the impact of RT on sleep disorders and the underlying mechanisms. This aim of this study was to elucidate the pathogenesis of OSA by comparing the clinical and sleep test parameters and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings before and after HNC treatment with radiation.
