Background/Aim: Oxidative stress status in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is well discussed in the literature. Oxidative stress levels increase, and antioxidant system activi-ty decreases in OSAS patients. However, the change in oxidative stress status in positional (pOSAS) and non-positional (npOSAS) OSAS has not been adequately examined. The aim of this study was to compare OSAS patients’ polysomnographic (PSG) parameters and oxidative stress capacities with the structural and functional properties of the upper respiratory tract. Methods: This study was designed as prospective case-control study and patients were divided into three groups as control, pOSAS and npOSAS according to their PSG findings. Ear nose throat examinations including rhinomanometry test and oxidative stress blood parameter tests were conducted to all patients. Variables among the groups were compared. Results: All PSG parameters were significantly worse in the OSAS groups than the control group (P
