It is often clinically impossible to differentiate children with an isolated snoring from those with OSA. The diagnosis of OSA is currently based on nocturnal, laboratory-based polysomnography. This expensive examination is poorly accessible due to appointments delays at hospital. Our study is designed to compare the characteristics of a home polysomnography versus standard polysomnography for the diagnosis of pediatric OSA.

Characteristics of a home polysomnograph versus standard polysomnography for the diagnosis of OSA in children.
* Standard polysomnography considered pathological if obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) \> 5 / hr. * Home polysomnography considered pathological if at least one of the following criteria is present : 1. Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) \> 10 / hr + /- Desaturation Index \> 4% for more than 2.5 / hr. 2. Brouillette index ; pulse wave \> 3 desaturation clusters and \> 3 desaturation \<90%.
Time frame: 1 night
To determine polygraphic pathological criteria by comparing the RDI per hour of the home polysomnography versus the (AHI) of the standard polysomnography.
Time frame: 1 night
