Abstract
The article presents a clinical case of diagnosis of acromegaly in a patient with arterial hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Pituitary microadenoma and the delay in its diagnosis caused the development of complications in the patient: ischemic stroke, the development of severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, diabetes, chronic kidney disease. The question of the expediency of selecting target groups of patients for screening and the need to increase the awareness of the manifestations of acromegaly among a wide range of doctors in order to diagnose it early is considered.
