OBJECTIVE
To the best of our knowledge, the association between an obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) due to a neck mass and an obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) has not been reported.
METHODS
We report the case of a patient with obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) in whom OSAS caused by a carotid body paraganglioma contributed to recurrent bouts of severe alveolar hypoventilation.
CONCLUSIONS
The complete surgical excision of the paraganglioma resulted in the cure of the OSAS and contributed to a clear improvement of the clinical symptoms of OHS.
