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]

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

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

• Pulmonary Disorder

  Offers a complete overview including basic cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology, the pathophysiology of commonly encountered cardiac and pulmonary disorders, diagnostic tests and procedures, therapeutic interventions, pharmacology, physical therapy [books.google.com]

  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]

• Dizziness

  Hyperventilation Hyperventilation may cause abnormally low levels of carbon dioxide in the blood and lead to dizziness, light-headedness, weakness, unsteadiness, muscle spasms in the hands and feet, and tingling around the mouth and fingertips. [patient.info]

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]

  Abstract The alveolar hypoventilation syndrome, characterized by arterial hypercapnia, develops when alveolar ventilation falls below a critical value. [annals.org]

Early treatment and monitoring of hypoglycemia will prevent further complications for these populations. [uthealth.influuent.utsystem.edu]

Treatment - Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome Patients generally require tracheostomy and lifetime mechanical ventilation on a ventilator in order to survive. [checkorphan.org]

If your child is diagnosed with this condition, he or she will need treatment right away. Your child may need the following treatment: A machine that gives positive airway pressure. This will help keep your child’s airways open. [oregon.providence.org]

Early diagnosis is of great importance to provide appropriate management to prevent the acute and chronic asphyxia that determines the long-term prognosis of this disease. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]

Prognosis is good after surgery. Prognosis is poor in neonates with obstructive TAPVR. Long term follow up is needed to assess restenosis and late arrhythmias. [hawaii.edu]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

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]
