چکیده
OBJECTIVE To study circadian BP patterns in patients with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS). DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Teaching hospital in Paris, France. PATIENTS Eleven patients with CCHS (median age, 13 years; range, 6 to 18 years) and 11 sex- and height-matched control subjects. INTERVENTION None. METHODS Each subject underwent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring. Oxygen saturation and end-tidal PCO(2) were monitored noninvasively. Polysomnography was performed to determine sleep times. All patients with CCHS received mechanical ventilation during sleep. Mean values for systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) during wakefulness and sleep were analyzed. Nocturnal BP "dipping" was defined as the difference in mean SBP (and/or DBP) between wakefulness and sleep, divided by individual waking mean values. BP "dippers" were defined as subjects showing at least 10% nocturnal dipping. RESULTS Patients with CCHS had BPs in the low normal range of normative data. As compared to control subjects, patients with CCHS had lower BP during wakefulness (p = 0.003 and p = 0.016 for SBP and DBP, respectively), and higher BP during sleep (p = 0.016 and p = 0.002). Nocturnal BP dipping was abnormally reduced in patients with CCHS (p = 0.000). Ten of the 11 patients with CCHS were BP nondippers, compared to none of the control subjects. CONCLUSION The abnormal circadian BP pattern observed in children and adolescents with CCHS may be related to autonomic nervous dysfunction. Lifelong cardiovascular follow-up is recommended for patients with CCHS.

The association of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (also known as Ondine's curse) and Hirschsprung's disease is termed Haddad syndrome, which is an extremely rare disorder. Recent studies have described that the PHOX2B gene mutation was responsible for congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. We report a term newborn male infant with clinical manifestations of recurrent hypovent...

ABSTRACT Pulmonary hypertension is one of the causes of cyanosis in children. Pulmonary hypertention may be primary or secondary. Etiology of secondery PH are variable and one of them is pulmonary ventilation abnormality. One of the rare causes of secondary PH is congenital central hypoventilation syndrome or ondines curse. The patient was 6 years old boy presented with easy fati...

The effect of CCHS (congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, or Ondine's curse) on short-term BP (blood pressure) and HR (heart rate) variability was evaluated in 16-year-old subjects presenting a form of CCHS requiring night ventilatory assistance. The 12 patients were compared with 12 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers. Recordings were obtained during daytime while the subjects we...

Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome is a rare syndrome present from birth, and is defined as the failure of automatic control of breathing. All patients with congenital central hypoventilation syndrome require life-long ventilatory support during sleep, although approximately a third of patients require ventilatory support 24 h per day. Diaphragm pacers offer a modality of ventilatory s...
