Abstract

Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) affect children of all ages and are commonly seen in children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). SRBDs are divided into four broad nosologic categories—obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea (CSA) syndromes, sleep-related hypoventilation disorders, and sleep-related hypoxemia. Children diagnosed with any of these disorders can experience abnormal respiration that is either centrally mediated or caused by upper airway obstruction. If left untreated, SRBDs can result in both systemic and cognitive deficits that may exacerbate baseline deficits. To ensure prompt and appropriate treatment, clinicians must have a sound working knowledge of SRBDs and maintain an index of suspicion in symptomatic children with NDDs. The aim of this chapter is to provide the clinician with information regarding the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of SRBDs.
