Abstract
Summary: A 71-year-old man with acromegaly is described. Investigations for dyspnoea and daytime somnolence showed upper airway obstruction but not sleep apnoea. An upper respiratory tract infection precipitated stridor which required urgent tracheostomy.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
