dc.description.abstractObjectives: Sleep respiratory disorders, which are more common in epilepsy patients, are treatable diseases. We have discussed the diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome after PSG of epileptic patients with visible apnea and snoring, in light of the findings in the literature. Methods: For this study, from 1120 patients with epilepsy, 32 of them who were diagnosed with OSA in the PSG test were selected. Thirty-two patients with epilepsy that snoring and apnea who consulted sleep center. Patients with simple snoring and upper airway resistance were not selected. Epworth Sleep Scales was applied to all patients and all patients were taken. Results: In this study, the findings showed that the ratio of OUAS in patients with epilepsy was 2.9%. 21 of the 32 cases were male and 11 were female. The mean age was 53 (42-69) years. 72% had partial epilepsies and 28% generalized. The Apne-hypopnea index was 28 (14-48). PAP treatment was performed after the diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome. Conclusion: Sleep respiratory disorders are more common in patients with epilepsy than the rest of the population and they are treatable diseases. The other study revealed that the frequency of OSAS among epilepsy was 10,2%. In this study, the findings showed that the ratio of OSAS in patients with epilepsy was 2.9%. This a risk for OSAS and the medication used for the treatment should be selected appropriately. Clinical screening of OSAS in settings of epileptic patients may be needed to diagnose to find out it maybe a potential and modifiable risk factor for epilepsy.en_US
