Abstract
A patient with a medically intractable seizure disorder was found to suffer sleep apnea as well. Treating the sleep apnea with permanent tracheostomy improved his generalized seizures. Although this combination of neurological disorders is probably rare, it should be considered if a suggestive history is obtained.Keywords
