A 78-year-old male patient was referred with a history of snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness for 3 years. The patient was diagnosed case of Acromegaly due to pituitary microadenoma. He was evaluated with polysomnography, which confirmed severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Acromegaly is an endocrine disorder resulting from excessive secretion of growth hormone in adults. They have a high prevalence of OSAS which often goes undiagnosed. We report one such case of OSAS in a diagnosed case of Acromegaly.
