Popis:	Epilepsy is the 4th most common neurological disease in the USA. The link between epilepsy and sleep has been known for a long time. An EEG after sleep deprivation is often used as a diagnostic tool in epilepsy. Sleep disorders have an increased incidence in epilepsy patients. It is known that sleep deprivation can precipitate an epileptic seizure. However, it has not yet been proven that CPAP, or any other modality of sleep disorder treatment, has led to better seizure control in epilepsy patients. In this report, we bring the case of a patient who has achieved excellent seizure control by using CPAP.
