In another group it presents itself in the first months of life with life-threatening episodes and even respiratory arrest during sleep 1,5. [elsevier.es]

CCHS patients usually present with hypoventilation and hypoxemia. [jcsm.aasm.org]

Condition Description Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a disorder of respiratory and autonomic regulation typically presenting in newborns. [egl-eurofins.com]

• Shivering

  Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 agonist which has a sedative effect by reducing the activity in the locus coeruleus in the central nervous system, has been used as a perioperative adjunct drug to reduce complications such as agitation, delirium, shivering [jaclinicalreports.springeropen.com]

• Pulmonary Disorder

  Co-morbid medical conditions can also be responsible for hypoventilation such as a primary pulmonary disorder- e.g, emphysema or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). [theravive.com]

• Malocclusion

  Indeed, flattening of the nose and dental malocclusion were seen in patient A, and the deformities will require surgical repair in future. [omicsonline.org]

• Shoulder Pain

  All of our patients had intrathoracic phrenic nerve electrodes, and while shoulder pain can occur when the tidal volume is too high, the pain is relieved when the tidal volume is reduced. [karger.com]

• Miosis

  Ocular manifestations are common, such as miosis, anisocoria, and abnormal responsiveness to light, as well as abnormal irides, strabismus, and lack of tears. [inthemoment-mt.com]

• Fear

  When the child is hooked up to a machine 24/7, the parents live in constant fear of not being around when the machine is unplugged and are obliged to remain vigilant during the child’s waking or sleeping hours. [humanium.org]

  Moreover, the baby presented several episodes of breathing hold spell triggered by pain, frustration and fear occurring also during mechanical ventilation. [ijponline.biomedcentral.com]

• Self-Mutilation

  Behavioral disorders, such as self-mutilation, also became evident. She was diagnosed with complex sleep apnea syndrome and noninvasive bi-level positive airway pressure was introduced. [jaclinicalreports.springeropen.com]

• Delayed Speech and Language Development

  Although the tracheostomy with tracheal intubation is the safest way with respect to life support and useful for long-term stable ventilation, a long-term tracheostomy during infancy has some drawbacks such as delayed speech and language development [ [omicsonline.org]

• Agitated Delirium

  Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 agonist which has a sedative effect by reducing the activity in the locus coeruleus in the central nervous system, has been used as a perioperative adjunct drug to reduce complications such as agitation, delirium, shivering [jaclinicalreports.springeropen.com]

• Enlarged Uterus

  Pregnancy may decrease ventilation due to the increased respiratory load from an enlarging uterus. Therefore, frequent monitoring to assess for adequate oxygenation and ventilation during both sleep and wakefulness is recommended in pregnancy. [dovepress.com]

Her subsequent genetic workup revealed that she had the autosomal dominant condition. She was heterozygous for 33 Polyalanine Repeats in the PHOX2B gene, specifically 20 repeats at one allele and 33 repeats at the other ( Table 1 ). [scitechnol.com]

• Hypercapnia

  This hypoventilation is secondary to the decrease or lack of ventilatory response to hypercapnia or hypoxemia. [elsevier.es]

  These patients do not exhibit a normal ventilatory response to hypoxia or hypercapnia, but they may demonstrate an arousal response to hypercapnia overcome with Canadian Health&Care Mall. [inthemoment-mt.com]

  CCHS patients appear normal even with profound hypercapnia and hypoxemia. The hypoxia and hypercapnia are often only detected at a later stage when severe cyanosis and central nervous system depression have ensued. [dovepress.com]

  In addition, severe hypercapnia may cause asterixis, myoclonus, and papilledema due to the increased intracranial pressure. [atmph.org]

  In addition, pulmonary function test, overnight polysomnography, arterial blood gas, and hypercapnia ventilatory response, and genetic screening for PHOX2B gene mutations were performed on living family members. [clinicaltrials.gov]

• Sinus Arrhythmia

  arrhythmia and transient abrupt asystoles, have been described. 11, 12 Annually performed 72-hour Holter monitoring may determine aberrant cardiac rhythms and sinus pauses that will necessitate bipolar cardiac pacemaker implantation. [sajch.org.za]

Historical note and terminology Congenital central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome was first described in 1970, and the genetic etiology was finally elucidated in 2003 ( Mellins et al 1970 ; Amiel et al 2003 ). [medlink.com]

PHOX2B genetic testing should be immediately performed while evaluation of other potential etiologies for the alveolar hypoventilation are being pursued – exclusion of pulmonary, cardiac, or neuromuscular disease and brainstem lesions. [obgynkey.com]
