The authors report the case of an ambulatory patient who presented with sleep apnea episodes of the central and obstructive types and an associated Chiari Type I malformation. The central episodes stopped and the obstructive episodes decreased markedly after decompression. The improvement in the so-called obstructive episodes was unexpected and indicates that they may have been on a central basis.
作者报告了一例门诊患者，该患者出现中枢性和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停发作，并伴有I型Chiari畸形。减压后中枢性发作停止，阻塞性发作明显减少。所谓阻塞性发作的改善出乎意料，表明它们可能基于中枢性病因。
