Case ReportsPolysomnographic features of idiopathic central sleep apnea.
Two patients with idiopathic central sleep apnea (ICSA), which is an uncommon condition, were recently encountered. This study examines the polysomnographic features of ICSA. ⋯ However, the two patients demonstrated apparently different findings. It is suggested that the mechanisms underlying apnea and hypopnea in ICSA are heterogeneous.
