Abstract

We report a clinical case of a young man with a brainstem tumor with a stable alveolar hypoventilation syndrome as the only symptom of the disease. The ventilatory response to CO2 was almost absent and the ventilatory pattern during tidal breathing was very irregular. The diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and confirmed by a stereotactic brain biopsy specimen.

摘要

我们报告了一例年轻男性脑干肿瘤的临床病例，该病例中稳定的肺泡低通气综合征是该疾病的唯一症状。对二氧化碳的通气反应几乎消失，潮式呼吸时的通气模式非常不规则。诊断通过脑部磁共振成像做出，并经立体定向脑活检标本证实。
