RESUMO

Relata-se um caso de concomitância de narcolepsia e apnéia do sono tipo obstrutiva documentado clinicamente e em traçados polissonográficos em laboratório de sono. Após correção cirúrgica da apnéia do sono, com traqueostomia, houve manutenção da sintomatologia narcoléptica e de seu registro característico. Este estudo apoia a necessidade de emprego sistemático da polissonografia de noite inteira e do teste de latência múltipla do sono na avaliação de pacientes com sonolência excessiva diurna.

SUMMARY

A case of concomitant narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea evaluated in a sleep disorder center is reported. Tracheostomy decreased the frequency of the apneas but the clinical and polysomnography features of narcolepsy remained on 3 and 6 months post-surgical follow-ups. These findings support the need for systematic use of all-night polysomnography and multiple sleep latency test in patients with excessive daytime sleepiness.
