Sleep apnea may be central, obstructive, or of mixed origin; proper workup and assessment are crucial to the establishment of the correct diagnosis and treatment. * Central apnea may result from intracranial hypertension. [pocketdentistry.com]
Treatment
This era was followed by improved environmental factors which operate to produce methods of medical treatment, introduction congenital cardiac malformations. [books.google.com]
