Apnéia do sono associada a obesidade

The authors have selected a group of patients with sleep apnea and brain aneurysms and sought to correlate with cases of overweight and obesity. They have found a high incidence of bleeding among those patients in both groups of obesity, most of them at computed tomography with Fisher score of III to IV, in patients with ruptured aneurysms (60% of rupture in severe obesity and 75% in overweight), and clinical status of Fisher IV in obese patients and 3.3 in overweighed patients. Beyond any doubts, further studies should be accomplished to establish a strong correlation between associated obesity and sleep apnea and the patophysiology of brain aneurysms.
