[Three pregnancies on nasal CPAP: a case report].
We report on a sleepy woman, suffering from morbid obesity, with a diagnosis of severe sleep apnea syndrome made at the age of 30 year, treated with nocturnal ventilatory support (nasal CPAP). The patient had an history of preeclampsia during a first pregnancy. In the following years, this patient remained very compliant with nasal CPAP, was no longer sleepy and was three times pregnant, without any complication.
