Central Hypoventilation: A Rare Complication of Wallenberg Syndrome

Case Reports in Neurological Medicine
Keithan SivakumarHussam A Yacoub

Abstract

Central alveolar hypoventilation disorders denote conditions resulting from underlying neurologic disorders affecting the sensors, the central controller, or the integration of those signals leading to insufficient ventilation and reduction in partial pressures of oxygen. We report a patient who presented with a left lateral medullary ischemic stroke after aneurysm repair who subsequently developed a rare complication of CAH. Increased awareness of this condition's clinical manifestations is crucial to make an accurate diagnosis and understand its complications and prognosis.
