Abstract (EN): Wolfram syndrome (WS) is a rare autosomal-recessive genetic disorder. The authors report a case of a patient with WS and undiagnosed/untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) associated with prolonged periods of apnea and hypopnea and nocturnal hypoxemia, which may have predisposed him to the development of a near-fatal event during sleep. Addressing sleep-disordered breathing in patients with WS could improve their quality of life and potentially their longevity.
