Sleep Breath. 2003 Sep;7(3):147-9. doi: 10.1007/s11325-003-0147-z.

Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome may disguise the presence of other less common but equally important etiologies of sleepiness in patients presenting to sleep disorder specialists. In this case report the authors detail how multiple polysomnograms performed over 6 years eventually suggested that a patient had both obstructive sleep apnea and narcolepsy.
