title: Onset of mania after CPAP in a man with obstructive sleep apnea.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  This short report presents the case of a man with chronic anergy and mild depressive symptoms probably due to obstructive sleep apnea (OAS).
  
  
  METHODS
  The patient was treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
  
  
  RESULTS
  He developed a first manic episode at an atypical age simultaneously with the beginning of treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Several possible connections between affective syndromes, OAS, and CPAP treatment are proposed and discussed relating to current literature.
