    Author: Lesser BA, Leeper KV, Conway W.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1988 Oct; 148(10):2285-7. PubMed ID: 3052348.
    Abstract:
    Obstructive sleep apnea can occur in patients with a variety of upper airway anatomic abnormalities including macroglossia. We present a case of macroglossia secondary to amyloidosis causing obstructive sleep apnea that was successfully treated with low pressures of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (5 cm of water).
