Infantile apnea is a rare disease that is characterized by cessation of breathing in an infant for at least 20 seconds or a shorter respiratory pause that is associated with a slow heart rate, bluish discolouration of the skin, extreme paleness, gagging, choking and/or decreased muscle tone.
Obstructive apnea may occur when the infant's neck is hyperflexed or conversely, hyperextended. It may also occur due to low pharyngeal muscle tone or to inflammation of the soft tissues, which can block the flow of air though the pharynx and vocal cords. [1] Central apnea occurs when there is a lack of respiratory effort.

Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health conditions. Moderate to severe sleep apnea can increase your risk of: High blood pressure. Heart failure. Cardiovascular disease. Stroke. Fatty ...
Sleep apnea is a serious medical condition that causes interruptions in your sleep leading to a wide range of symptoms. Learn more about the condition and how to get diagnosed.
Central sleep apnea is common in preterm, newborn, and infancy stages but a decrease in risk is found with aging and maturity of the central nervous system. Underlying neurological disorders are the most common cause of CSA in full term infants. Of the apnea related events in preterm infants born at less than 29 weeks, 25% are central in origin ...
