Clinical features of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome

Clinical features of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome
Respiratory
Alveolar hypoventilation, with increased PCO2 and hypoxemia. Low tidal volume and/or respiratory rate.
Lack of normal ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercarbia and hypoxemia
Limited breath-to-breath variability
Cardiac
Decreased beat-to-beat variability of heart rate
Attenuated heart rate response to exercise
Orthostatic hypotension
Attenuation of normal sleep-related blood pressure decrement
Prolonged sinus pauses
Facial features
Box-shaped face (shorter and flatter), with inferior reflection of the lateral segment of the vermillion border on the upper lip
Gastrointestinal
Hirschsprung disease (16 to 20%)
Severe constipation
Esophageal dysmotility; dysphagia
Neural crest tumors
eg, neuroblastoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, or ganglioneuroma
Ophthalmologic
Pupillary abnormalities (meiosis; altered pupillary response to light)
Altered accommodation (with accommodative strabismus)
Neuropsychological
Decreased perception of anxiety
Cognitive delays
Sudomotor
