In multiple system atrophy, sleep-disordered breathing has a broad spectrum of phenotypes, among them inspiratory stridor and obstructive sleep apnea being most frequent.
We present a case of a 59-year-old woman with cerebellar-type multiple system atrophy, who showed transient paradoxical breathing effort during non-rapid eye movement sleep on diagnostic polysomnography. Because this thoraco-abdominal paradox was atypical for and did not coincide with upper airway obstruction, it most likely indicated central dysregulation of the diaphragm.
Continuous positive airway pressure therapy with low pressure (5 cm H₂O) was sufficient to completely resolve this type of respiratory dysregulation.
This case extends the clinical spectrum of sleep-disordered breathing in multiple system atrophy.
在多系统萎缩中,睡眠呼吸障碍具有广泛的表型,其中吸气性喘鸣和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停最为常见。
我们报告一例59岁小脑型多系统萎缩女性患者,其在诊断性多导睡眠图检查的非快速眼动睡眠期间出现短暂的矛盾呼吸努力。由于这种胸腹矛盾呼吸对于上气道阻塞而言不典型且与之不符,因此很可能提示膈肌的中枢调节异常。
低压(5 cm H₂O)持续气道正压通气治疗足以完全解决这类呼吸调节异常。
该病例扩展了多系统萎缩中睡眠呼吸障碍的临床谱。
