    Abstract:
    Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a common disorder associated with potentially severe complications. Polysomnography is the gold standard diagnostic tool, while CPAP ventilation is recognized as the most efficient therapy. The numerous symptoms, even though little specific, should be rapidly detected to screen for the syndrome and transfer the patient to an adequate healthcare facility. The severity of the condition depends on the complications it causes.
