摘要: This case involves a 13-month-old male with Hurler syndrome. Due to oxygen desaturations during sleep, this patient was referred for polysomnography, which revealed severe mixed sleep apnea (apnea-hypopnea index [AHI] 72 events/h). Because in patients syndrome is frequently attributed upper airway obstruction, he otolaryngology. Prior his evaluation by otolaryngology, underwent ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement, had been scheduled due hydrocephalus on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After VP resolved. Repeat polysomnogram mild (AHI 1.9). The etiology of likely hydrocephalus. the first report markedly improved ventriculostomy and placement. highlights importance considering neurological etiologies Hurler's patients, despite their predisposition obstruction.
