AB  - Patients  with  obstructive  sleep  apnea  require  evaluation  to  determine  the  specific  anatomic  site(s)  of  involvement.  Long-term  cardiovascular  problems  are  a  significant  concern  in  these  patients.Repair  of  traumatic  soft  tissue  injuries  requires  precise  ­re-alignment  of  anatomic  landmarks  such  as  the  grey  line  and  vermilion  border.The  key  principle  in  the  surgical  repair  of  facial  fractures  is  immobilization,  which  may  require  plates,  screws,  wires,  and/or  intermaxillary  fixation.Concurrent  abuse  of  tobacco  and  alcohol  are  synergistic  in  increasing  the  risk  of  developing  head  and  neck  cancerMonomodality  therapy  (surgery  or  radiation)  is  used  for  early  stage  (I/II)  head  and  neck  cancer,  whereas  combination  ­surgery  and  chemoradiation  is  utilized  with  advanced  stage  (III/IV)  malignancies.Infectious  conditions  of  the  head  and  neck  may  present  with  life-threatening  sequelae  such  as  loss  of  airway  or  intracranial  extension.Disorders  of  the  head  and  neck  can  cause  significant  cosmetic  and  functional  impairment.  The  practitioner  must  be  empathetic  to  the  effect  of  these  morbidities  on  quality  of  life.Hoarseness,  odynophagia,  referred  otalgia,  nonhealing  oral  ulceration  and/or  cervical  lymphadenopathy  present  for  >2  weeks  duration  require  consideration  for  subspecialty  consultation  for  evaluation.
