From the age of four months to his sudden, unexpected death at 2 years 11 months, a child had severe cyanotic episodes attributed to cyanotic 'breath-holding' (prolonged expiratory apnoea). At postmortem he was found to have a previously undiagnosed gangliocytoma of the medulla, which had invaded the floor of the fourth ventricle and variably affected the 7th to 12th cranial-nerve nuclei.
从四个月大到两岁十一个月突然意外死亡，一名儿童患有严重的发绀发作，归因于发绀性“屏气”（延长呼气性呼吸暂停）。尸检时发现他患有此前未被诊断出的延髓神经节细胞瘤，该肿瘤侵犯了第四脑室底部，并不同程度地影响了第7至12对颅神经核。
