Brain-stem auditory response in Ondine's syndrome.

R Beckerman, J Meltzer, A Sola

    Archives of Neurology
    |July 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Infants with Ondine's syndrome show brain-stem auditory evoked response abnormalities during sleep. These findings suggest impaired auditory pathways near respiratory control centers in the brain stem.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Pediatrics
    • Sleep Medicine

    Background:

    • Congenital central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome (Ondine's syndrome) affects respiratory control during sleep.
    • Brain-stem function is critical for regulating breathing and processing auditory information.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate brain-stem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) in infants with Ondine's syndrome during sleep.
    • To identify potential electrophysiological markers of brain-stem dysfunction in this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • BAERs were recorded during sleep in four infants diagnosed with Ondine's syndrome.
    • A control group of four age- and sex-matched healthy infants was included for comparison.
    • Analysis focused on peak latencies (p III) and interpeak latencies (p I-III).

    Main Results:

    • Infants with Ondine's syndrome exhibited consistent delays in p III and p I-III latencies.
    • These auditory pathway abnormalities were not observed in the control group.
    • The findings were reproducible across the patient cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Abnormalities in BAERs suggest disruption of auditory pathways in the mid to upper brain stem in infants with Ondine's syndrome.
    • These electrophysiological findings correlate with impaired brain-stem control of ventilation during sleep.
    • The study implies a functional disturbance in brain-stem regulatory mechanisms in Ondine's syndrome.
