Central apnoea in neonates can stem from various causes, including infections, malformations, and epilepsy. Early EEG is recommended for neurologically at-risk infants when other causes are ruled out.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Critical Care

Background:

  • Central apnoea presents a significant challenge in neonates, necessitating accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.
  • Diverse etiologies underscore the complexity of managing apnoeic episodes in newborns.

Observation:

  • Case 1: A 3-week-old female with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection required intubation and mechanical ventilation.
  • Case 2: A 17-day-old male with Arnold-Chiari malformation experienced apnoeas managed with acetazolamide.
  • Case 3: A 5-day-old male with central apnoeas of epileptic origin was treated with phenobarbital.

Findings:

  • All three neonates presented with distinct causes of central apnoea.
  • Successful treatment outcomes were achieved with appropriate interventions tailored to each case.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The cases highlight the importance of considering epilepsy as a cause of central apnoea, even without motor seizures.

    • Implications:

    • Electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for identifying epileptic substrates in infants with unexplained apnoea, particularly those with neurological risk factors.
    • Early diagnosis and targeted treatment of central apnoea in neonates can lead to favorable outcomes.
    • This case series emphasizes a comprehensive diagnostic approach for neonatal apnoea, including neurological and electrophysiological assessments.
