Increased frequency of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Beh çet's syndrome patients with superior vena cava syndrome.
CONCLUSIONS: BS patients with SVCS are at high risk for OSA. This is probably due to the external pressure of the significant presence of venous collaterals that surround the upper airways. Our results should be further confirmed by polysomnography, and future research should be carried out to clarify the causes of this association.
