Sparse literature exists on the effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment on symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults. This article aims to bring to the fore the relationship between ADHD and OSA in adults and the implications of the treatment of OSA on the symptoms of ADHD. A case of an adult who was previously diagnosed with attention deficit disorder in childhood with symptom improvement following OSA treatment is reported. Considering the complex relationship between ADHD and sleep problems, the recommendation to screen for OSA and other sleep problems among persons being assessed for ADHD should be upheld. This article advocates for more research on the effect of the treatment of OSA on ADHD symptoms.

关于阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)治疗对成人注意力缺陷多动障碍(ADHD)症状的影响,相关文献较少。本文旨在突出成人ADHD与OSA之间的关系以及OSA治疗对ADHD症状的影响。报告了一例成年患者,其童年时曾被诊断为注意力缺陷障碍,经OSA治疗后症状有所改善。鉴于ADHD与睡眠问题之间的复杂关系,对于接受ADHD评估的人群,应坚持筛查OSA和其他睡眠问题的建议。本文主张对OSA治疗对ADHD症状的影响进行更多研究。
