ABSTRACT
CASE PRESENTATION A 58-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was admitted to the neurology service for inability to walk. Seven months prior to admission, she experienced hallucinations of seeing snakes or hearing babies cry. Three months later, the patient underwent a nocturnal polysomnogram for progressive daytime somnolence. The study demonstrated obstructive sleep apnea for which she was begun on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
