摘要：

Two acromegalic patients suffering from severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome were treated with the long-acting somatostatin analogue octreotide. Daytime sleepiness and fatigue improved within a few days. Repeat sleep studies performed after octreotide treatment revealed more confluent sleep with a shorter duration of sleep apnoea. Nocturnal hyperaemia improved in one patient. Octreotide might be an effective noninvasive treatment for sleep apnoea of acromegaly.
