RESUMO

A síndroma de apneia obstrutiva do sono e a hiperostose esquelética idiopática difusa são doenças frequentes na população idosa, no entanto raramente tem sido descrita a sua associação.

Os autores descrevem um caso de síndroma de apneia do sono num doente com hiperostose esquelética idiopática difusa, que apresenta um osteófito gigante da coluna cervical, o qual condiciona obstrução da faringe, e fazem uma correlação entre as duas entidades.

ABSTRACT

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis are frequent diseases in the elderly, however its association has rarely been described.

The authors describe a case of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in a patient with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, with a giant osteophyt of the cervical column, which leads to obstruction of the pharynx and they discuss the association between both entities.
