RESUMO
We present a patient with primary amyloidosis and sleep-inhibiting apnea and review the only two cases for which adequate references have been made in the medical literature. The importance of a complete anamnesis on the characteristics of sleep are stressed, and it is suggests that treatment with positive pressure applied via the nose (cPAP), as in the case presented here, can mean an important symptomatic improvement in a disease with an unfortunate prognosis.
