Primary alveolar hypoventilation in a thin young woman.
To the Editor: Alveolar hypoventilation in association with obesity was described first by Burwell' in 1956. In later years, many cases of this syndrome have been reported. A similar syndrome in nonobese subjects was recognized in 1965.2 By 1970, 30 cases, most of whom were men, had been reported." We wish to report a case of idiopathic hypoventilation in a young, thin woman. We shall point out...
متن کاملAlveolar hypoventilation treated with medroxyprogesterone.
Two children aged 1 and 20 months developed alveolar hypoventilation syndrome. They suffered severe apnoeic episodes and periodically required assisted ventilation. Their ventilatory response to carbon dioxide was lower than that of normal children and the transcutaneous oxygen tension during sleep was well below the normal range. Treatment with medroxyprogesterone acetate resulted in an improv...
متن کاملClinical and physiological aspects of a case of obesity, polycythemia and alveolar hypoventilation.
The occurrence of arterial hypoxia with polycythemia usually results from some known type of pulmonary disease or from an abnormal communication between the right and left sides of the circulation. Although arterial oxygen unsaturation has been observed in patients with polycythemia vera (1-4), it is usually of only mild degree. Recently, Newman, Feltman, and Devlin (5) found polycythemia and a...
متن کاملRigid spine syndrome and nocturnal alveolar hypoventilation.
A 17-year-old Japanese woman with rigid spine syndrome (RSS) presented with respiratory failure leading to CO2 narcosis. The clinical symptoms were drowsiness, asterixis and cardiac arrhythmias. Tracheostomy and temporary ventilatory support abolished these symptoms. However, polygraphic sleep studies without a ventilator revealed Cheyne-Stokes respiration and profound arterial oxygen desaturat...
متن کاملCardiac Tone in Sleep Related Alveolar Hypoventilation
933 Heart Rate Variability in Sleep Related Alveolar Hypoventilation—Palma et al INTRODUCTION Sleep related alveolar hypoventilation (SRAH) is characterized by decreased alveolar ventilation resulting in sleep related oxygen arterial desaturation in patients with normal mechanical properties of the lung. SRAH can be distinguished from central and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by the fact that O...
