Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSA/HS) is the basis of the spectrum of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and is a condition characterized by the presence of snoring, repetitive partial upper airway obstruction (hypopnea) and/or intermittent complete obstruction (apnea), long enough to cause reduce the level of oxygen in the blood (desaturation), fragmented sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness. It is known that OSA/HS in the middle and older age predisposes to arterial hypertension (AH). We discuss a case of 15-year-old boy with AH and OSA/HS. He was treated on nasal continuous positive pressure in the upper airway (nasal CPAP) with good results.
