Prolonged but Reversible Respiratory Failure in a Newborn With Prader-Willi Syndrome

Minneapolis Clinic of Neurology

Diane Camp, MD

Department of Neonatalogy North Memorial Health Care Minneapolis, Minnesota

A 29-week premature infant with severe central hypoventilation secondary to Prader-Willi syndrome required mechanical ventilation until 55 days of age. This disorder must be considered in the differential diagnosis of a premature infant who does not have primary lung disease but has significant hypotonia because the respiratory failure may require prolonged supportive care. (J Child Neurol 2001;16:153-154).
