Abstract

Central neurogenic hyperventilation (CNH) is a rare condition that characterized by an increase in the rate and depth of respiration to an extent that produces advanced respiratory alkalosis due to various central nervous disorder. The mechanism of CNH remains unclear. We reported a case of CNH in patients with progressive ischemic stroke in pons, including parabrachial nucleus, which is thought to have disrupted inhibitory impulses to the medullary respiratory center.
