A observação de mudanças abruptas do padrão respiratório durante estudo poligráfico do sono pode sugerir que estamos diante de síndrome de apnéia-hipopnéia ligada ao sono (SAHS) associada à postura adotada durante o sono pelo paciente. Relatamos o caso de um paciente de 37 anos com doença de Steinert e esta forma de SAHS. A respiração durante o sono pode ser regularizada por simples controle postural.

SUMMARY
Sudden changes in respiratory patterns observed during polysomnographic studies may suggest a positional form of SAHS (sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome). We report the case of a 37-year-old patient with Steinert's disease with this form of SAHS. Breathing during sleep could be regularized by a simple positional control.
Key words: sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS), Steinert's disease, positional sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome.
RESUMO
A observação de mudanças abruptas do padrão respiratório durante estudo poligráfico do sono pode sugerir que estamos diante de síndrome de apnéia-hipopnéia ligada ao sono (SAHS) associada à postura adotada durante o sono pelo paciente. Relatamos o caso de um paciente de 37 anos com doença de Steinert e esta forma de SAHS. A respiração durante o sono pode ser regularizada por simples controle postural.
Palavras-chave: síndrome de apnéia-hipopnéia do sono (SAHS), doença de Steinert, síndrome de apnéia-hipopnéia posicional do sono.
