Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis presenting with orthopnea in a patient with COPD and obstructive sleep apnea

Ashfaq Hasan, Amrit B. Saxena, Syed Mahmood Ahmed, T. L. N. Swamy.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND) is a relentlessly progressive neurological disorder causing peripheral muscular weakness and resultant respiratory failure. In this article, we report a case of ALS with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with orthopnea as initial symptoms.

Key words: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Motor neuron disease, Orthopnea, Respiratory failure, Obstructive sleep apnea, Hamartoma
