Although obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is the main sleep-disordered breathing in patients with trisomy 21, other disorders such as central sleep apnea, alveolar hypoventilation, and hypoxemia should not be ignored. They are more frequent than in the general population.

In this video and accompanying technical sheet, Dr. Hervé Walti, a pediatrician at the Jérôme Lejeune Institute, tells you more about the prevalence, diagnosis, etiological hypotheses, consequences, and management of these sleep disorders.
