Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare disorder characterized by alveolar hypoventilation and autonomic system dysregulation secondary to mutations of the gene. Treatment consists of assisted ventilation using positive-pressure ventilators via tracheostomy, bi-level positive airway pressure (BPAP) via a noninvasive interface, negative-pressure ventilators, or diaphragm pacing. The long-term use of BPAP in younger children at home has been less frequently reported.
We present a case of a 2-month-old infant with CCHS who was successfully managed by BPAP without the need for tracheostomy and followed up for 7 years.
CCHS is a rare disease that manifests as nocturnal desaturation and carbon dioxide retention in early life. Noninvasive ventilation can be successfully used in young infants via an appropriate mask.
先天性中枢性低通气综合征(CCHS)是一种罕见疾病,其特征为肺泡低通气以及继发于该基因突变的自主神经系统失调。治疗方法包括通过气管造口术使用正压通气机进行辅助通气、通过无创接口使用双水平气道正压通气(BPAP)、使用负压通气机或膈肌起搏。在家中对年幼儿童长期使用BPAP的报道较少。
我们报告一例2个月大的CCHS婴儿,通过BPAP成功治疗,无需气管造口术,并随访了7年。
CCHS是一种罕见疾病,在生命早期表现为夜间低氧血症和二氧化碳潴留。通过合适的面罩,无创通气可成功用于年幼儿童。
