Abstract
Wolfram syndrome (WS) is a rare autosomal-recessive genetic disorder. The authors report a case of a patient with WS and undiagnosed/untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) associated with prolonged periods of apnea and hypopnea and nocturnal hypoxemia, which may have predisposed him to the development of a near-fatal event during sleep. Addressing sleep-disordered breathing in patients with WS could improve their quality of life and potentially their longevity.
期刊介绍：
Sleep Medicine aims to be a journal no one involved in clinical sleep medicine can do without.
A journal primarily focussing on the human aspects of sleep, integrating the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine: neurology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine (particularly pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, sleep technology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and dentistry.
The journal publishes the following types of articles: Reviews (also intended as a way to bridge the gap between basic sleep research and clinical relevance); Original Research Articles; Full-length articles; Brief communications; Controversies; Case reports; Letters to the Editor; Journal search and commentaries; Book reviews; Meeting announcements; Listing of relevant organisations plus web sites.
