The main indication for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx) in Wilson's disease (WD) is severe hepatic decompensation. Our 15-year-old patient is the second case to date in whom OLTx was performed because of neurologic manifestations resulting from WD. His initial condition involving recurrent headaches, tremor, and athetoid hand movements progressively deteriorated during therapy with D-penicillamine, zinc sulfate, and trientine until he was severely dysarthric, unable to walk, and bedridden. After OLTx, his neurologic condition became almost normal.
Bei Polysomnographien und Oxykardiorespirographien von Sä uglingen beobachteten wir hä ufig erhebliche, rasch einsetzende Sauerstoffsättigungsabfä lle bei periodischer Atmung. In der Literatur gibt es Hinweise auf Hypoxä mien bei periodischer Atmung sowie isoliert auftretende Hypoxä mien [22,25,26, 28,29,32,33,37,39]. In dieser Arbeit berichten wir ü ber die Auswertung von 204 Oxykardiorespirographien von Frü hgeborenen und reifgeborenen Sä uglingen.
