摘要: Central sleep apnoea (SAS) is caused by multiple system atrophy (MSA) due to a functional disorder of the brainstem, and sudden death caused. Respiratory disorders during are evaluated using an examination polysomnogram (PSG) all night. It problem that this testing complicated, evaluation simpler easier desirable. We determined whether SAS can use auditory brainstem response (ABR) which one function tests. The subjects included patients with MSA, hospitalized in Tokushima National Hospital from April 1, 2010 March 31, 2013. There were two subjects. MSA disease severity was high. duration period case 1 27 years. With PSG, apneic hypopnea index (AHI) intervalsit normal (0.8 times/h). contralateral III V waves stimulation inarticulate ABR. Case 2 had shorter history AHI 30.5, indicating SAS. no clear abnormality Functional be detected Examination further cases necessary elucidate any association between abnormal findings
