摘要
To the Editor： Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome （OSAS） is caused by recurrent episodes of complete or partial collapse of the upper airways during sleep and can induce apnea or hypopnea. Recurrent episodes of intermittent hypoxia and higher carbon dioxide levels may lead to frequent interruption of sleep. Nocturnal enuresis （NE） is characterized by the involuntary and recurrent voiding of urine during sleep. NE is a symptom of childhood OSAS, while it is rare in adults. Monosymptomatic NE （MNE） is defined as NE without daytime symptoms. We report an adult woman with MNE associated with severe OSAS whose symptoms completely disappeared after nasal continuous positive airway pressure （CPAP） therapy.
