Abstract:
The aim of this report was to analyse the sleep apnea rate and its clinical picture in acromegaly patients before and after the surgical treatment. The authors investigated both hormones levels and spirometric coefficients. They found, that surgical removal of microadenoma from transphenoidal approach led to the fast regression of the syndrome.
