Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) can lead to many complications associated with cere-brovascular system. Pathophysiological mechanisms in the development of cerebrovascular pathology include hypoxia, inflammation, oxidative stress and hypercoagulability. Herein, we report a 31-year-old patient with OSAS which was associated with sinus venous thrombosis whose symptoms improved with positive airway pressure therapy.

Keywords: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, sinus venous thrombosis, hypoxemia, positive airway pressure therapy
