Transient Ischemic Attacks and Minor Stroke During Sleep:Relationship to Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Stroke 26:2361-2365, Pressman,M.R.,et al, 1995
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea not only increase the statistical risk of CVA but could be the proximal trigger that precipitates these events during sleep.These two cases provide clinical support for this relationship.Successful diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in the patient with transient ischemic attacks and minor stroke may be an important tool for preventing recurrence.
