Zusammenfassung:: We investigated relation of the site of obstruction detected on Muller maneuver (MM) with polysomnography (PSG) and physical examination findings. Data of 703 patients admitted to Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital Sleep Laboratory between 2008 and 2013 were analyzed retrospectively; 394 patients with apnea-hypopnea indexes (AHI) ≥5/h were included. Site of collapse on MM was determined at retrolingual level at anteroposterior (M1) and lateral–lateral (M2) directions; at retropalatal level at anteroposterior (M3) and lateral–lateral (M4) directions. There were 125 (31.7 %) females and 269 (68.3 %) males. BMI had significant positive correlations with M2 ( p
