ROHHAD SYNDROME Rapid-onset Obesity with Hypothalamic dysfunction, Hypoventilation and Autonomic Dysregulation (ROHHAD syndrome) is a very rare disease affecting approximately only 76 cases worldwide. Patients with ROHHAD have damage to the mechanism governing proper breathing. ROHHAD syndrome is a disease that is potentially lethal and incurable Differently from CCHS, a genetic mutation is not identified yet Main symptoms: - hyperphagia and obesity by age of 10 years - (median age 3 years) - respiratory problems (hypoventilation, hypercarbia, OSAS) - thermal or other hypothalamic dysregulations - neurobehavioral disorders - tumors of neural crest origin Currently there are no official tests or treatments for ROHHAD. Many children are misdiagnosed or are never diagnosed until alveolar hypoventilation occurs.
Phenotypic features of ROHHAD (15 children) A, onset of hypothalamic clinical findings; B, onset of hypothalamic laboratory findings; C, onset of autonomic symptoms; D, onset of respiratory symptoms. Ize-Ludlow D et al. Pediatrics 2007; 120: e179-188 2007 by American Academy of Pediatrics

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) The clinical spectrum of SMA ranges from early infant death to normal adult life with only mild weakness. SMA clinically divided into: Ø Type I: is never sitting, 50% mortality at 7ms, 100% at 2-yrs of age Ø Type II: sitting position, never walk, respiratory failure in childhood Ø Type III: temporarily able to walk, With intervals of 0.1 Ø Type IV : adulthood R.

Hypoventilation and SBD Individuals tend to progress to daytime respiratory failure via a sequence of recurrent chest infections, nocturnal oxygen desaturation, nocturnal hypoventilation, and then daytime hypercarbia. Baseline assessment and longitudinal monitoring can identify those at risk for sleep-disordered breathing and ineffective clearance of secretions. Ventilatory support should be added at night if sleep-disordered breathing is present and cough assistance provided if cough efficiency is reduced. R. Cutrera, 2015 - cutrera@opbg.net 21

Assisted ventilation is used in children with NMW for the following reasons: Ø To treat the symptoms of nocturnal hypoventilation. Ø To treat the symptoms of daytime hypoventilation. Ø To reduce the frequency of hospital admission for chest infections. Ø To prevent chest wall deformity in young children with the expectation of improved long-term outcome. Ø To prolong life.

CASE 2: ARIANNA, 12 months old, F, SMA1 DISCHARGE PLANE Mechanical assisted cough The use of a mechanical insufflator/exsufflator via a face mask increases peak cough flow and aids airway clearance Other techniques such as breath stacking with bag, mask and one-way valve and manually assisted coughs can be very useful in older children who are able to understand commands but are not applicable to infants with severe type 1 SMA Oxygen - Home SpO2 monitoring Low-flow home oxygen should be considered for symptom relief in case of acute cyanotic attacks. However, practitioners should be aware that oxygen may mask worsening hypoventilation in the presence of hypercapnia by reducing respiratory drive. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) Non-invasive ventilation delivered via a mask attached with straps to the child's face interface as bi-level cycling between a higher and lower positive pressure to the follows setting ( PSV S/T, IPAP 16 cmh20, EPAP 4 cmh 2 O, Back up rate 25 breath/ min) In this case the use of NIV can have a beneficial impact on chest shape, reducing the development of pectus excavatum Enteral feeding Nex visit, scheduled in one month.

When professionals assess the resulting life for the child and family, they sometimes fear it will result in unreasonably excessive care. The aim of this article is to present an analysis of ethical arguments that could support or oppose the provision of invasive ventilation in this population. This examination is particularly relevant as France is one of the few countries performing tracheotomies and mechanical ventilation for this condition. NIV is ineffective and contraindicated in infants who have severe bulbar weakness, usually present in babies with severe type 1 SMA The consensus of expert opinion is that once the diagnosis has been confirmed invasive ventilation is not appropriate for infants with severe type 1 SMA.
