Among the many complications of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), one of the most frequent, but little-studied, is venous stagnation of the brain. In order to study the prevalence and severity of venous circulation in the brain among patients with OSA, 80 patients with OSA were examined according to a special scheme to detect venous stagnation of the brain. The results showed that 92.5% of these patients had clinical and paraclinical signs of venous stagnation of the brain, and 85% of them had the phenomena of venous stagnation. The authors come to the conclusion that in the treatment of OSA against the background of basic SIPAP- therapy it is necessary to venotonic therapy.
