Sleep polygraphic parameters in neuromuscular diseases.
In a polysomnographic study of 32 neuromuscular patients-22 with a form of muscular dystrophy, 3 with a form of congenital myopathy, 4 with a form of spinal muscular atrophy, 1 with a recurrent form of polymyositis and 1 with osteogenesis imperfecta syndrome--of which 21 were nonambulatory, we observed sleep related respiratory disturbances represented by: drops in oxygen saturation (SaO2), car...
متن کاملSLEEP and SLEEP DISORDERS Neuromuscular Mechanisms of Upper Airway Patency
The pathophysiological mechanisms involved in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are complex and not fully understood. Critical upper airway (UA) narrowing/collapse usually occurs in the oropharynx, between the nasal choanae and epiglottis, an area lacking rigid support. Patency of this vulnerable segment is dependent on the action of pharyngeal dilator and abductor muscles that are normally activa...
متن کاملSleep Disorders in Childhood Neurological Diseases
Sleep problems are frequently addressed as a primary or secondary concern during the visit to the pediatric neurology clinic. Sleep disorders can mimic other neurologic diseases (e.g., epilepsy and movement disorders), and this adds challenges to the diagnostic process. Sleep disorders can significantly affect the quality of life and functionality of children in general and those with comorbid ...
متن کاملAssessment of sleep-disordered breathing in pediatric neuromuscular diseases.

متن کاملRespiration during sleep in neuromuscular and thoracic cage disorders.
Many of the neuromuscular and thoracic cage disorders are associated with disorders of breathing during sleep. The abnormal mechanics of the chest wall impairs respiratory muscle function and this is compounded if there is underlying muscle weakness. Respiratory abnormalities appear during REM sleep before NREM or wakefulness. Central sleep apnoeas are characteristic, but obstructive apnoeas ar...
