In this small, heterogenous patient sample, MDO increases airway size, may preferentially affect the retropalatal airway, and often results in supraphysiologic airway dimensions. These retropalatal changes may be important in relieving severe UAO in patients with PRS. Generalizability of our results is limited by small cohort size and patient heterogeneity.
