    <abstract locale="en_US">Background and Objective: Co-occurring central sleep apnea (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are a developing&#xA0;apprehension because many patients referred to sleep studies have co-morbidities such as cardiovascular and/or&#xA0;neurological disorders which increase the possibility of central and obstructive episodes. Here, we report a patient without&#xA0;excessive daytime sleepiness and a combination of CSA and OSA.

Case Report: We present a 16-year-old boy with a history of snoring, poor quality of sleep, nightmare, sleep walking,&#xA0;and sleep talking since he was two-years old. His STOP-Bang score was 7. Standard attended polysomnography (PSG)&#xA0;with audio-video monitoring was performed. The PSG results contained Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI): 30.2 (number of OSAs was 50 and number of CSAs was 49 during sleep). Then, a titration study was performed and continuous positive&#xA0;airway pressure (CPAP) setting as low as eight cmH2O was effective in eliminating obstructive events, but there&#xA0;was emerging CSAs in favour of Treatment Emergent CSA (TCSA).

Conclusion: This case represents a non-sleepy phenotype of OSA in combination with many CSAs in PSG. We suggest&#xA0;that further studies be performed on the association between the concomitant presence of CSA and OSA among nonsleepy
patients with OSA.</abstract>
