Abstract
The case history is described of a 41 year old male who presented with acute-on-chronic respiratory failure due to PHOX2B mutation-associated central hypoventilation with a quantified impaired response to hypercapnia. He was successfully treated with non-invasive ventilation, which has been continued nocturnally at home.Entities:
