Abstract
• Obstructive sleep apnea can occur in patients with a variety of upper airway anatomic abnormalities including macroglossia. We present a case of macroglossia secondary to amyloidosis causing obstructive sleep apnea that was successfully treated with low pressures of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (5 cm of water).
