ABSTRACT
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. CITATION Awadalla TO, Igwe O, Okeafor CU, Attarian HP.
