To the Editor: We thoroughly enjoyed the insightful review on erectile dysfunction by McMahon.[1] We offer some observations, as most of the abnormalities described in erectile dysfunction are also associated with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Fortunately, OSA can be reliably diagnosed in 80% of cases by bilateral, simultaneous, lateral, passive, anterosuperior, paramarginal distraction of a patient's upper eyelids.[2] Finding lax (floppy) lids clearly has a positive association with OSA. We were concerned that there was no mention of the pathogenetic association of OSA with erectile dysfunction; it may be prudent to exclude OSA in patients diagnosed with erectile dysfunction.
