Isolated sleep apnea due to Chiari type I malformation and syringomyelia

T Shiihara et al. Pediatr Neurol. 1995 Oct.

Abstract

We report an 11-year-old girl with Chiari type I malformation and syringomyelia, who experienced isolated sleep apnea without other neurologic problems. Monitoring with oximetry and movement of thoracic and abdominal walls indicated mixed-type sleep apnea. Chiari type I malformation should be differentiated from other disorders causing sleep apnea.
