Abstract
Crouzon syndrome (CS) is a hereditary disorder characterized by deformities of the face and skull brought on by syndromic craniosynostosis or the premature fusion of coronal sutures. Pediatric patients with Crouzon syndrome have a high likelihood of developing obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS), primarily due to skeletal hypoplasia and facial dysmorphism. Treatment of OSAS in patients with Crouzon syndrome requires multidisciplinary and sequential treatment planning because Crouzon syndrome often has different phenotypes with varying severity in OSA and facial dysmorphism. In this clinical case, we describe the first case of a child with Crouzon syndrome with sleep apnea who was treated with positive pressure ventilation in Vietnam.
期刊介绍:
The journal Sleep and Breathing aims to reflect the state of the art in the international science and practice of sleep medicine. The journal is based on the recognition that management of sleep disorders requires a multi-disciplinary approach and diverse perspectives. The initial focus of Sleep and Breathing is on timely and original studies that collect, intervene, or otherwise inform all clinicians and scientists in medicine, dentistry and oral surgery, otolaryngology, and epidemiology on the management of the upper airway during sleep.
Furthermore, Sleep and Breathing endeavors to bring readers cutting edge information about all evolving aspects of common sleep disorders or disruptions, such as insomnia and shift work. The journal includes not only patient studies, but also studies that emphasize the principles of physiology and pathophysiology or illustrate potentially novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment. In addition, the journal features articles that describe patient-oriented and cost-benefit health outcomes research. Thus, with peer review by an international Editorial Board and prompt English-language publication, Sleep and Breathing provides rapid dissemination of clinical and clinically related scientific information. But it also does more: it is dedicated to making the most important developments in sleep disordered breathing easily accessible to clinicians who are treating sleep apnea by presenting well-chosen, well-written, and highly organized information that is useful for patient care.
