TL;DR
A case of failure of automatic respiration with sleep apnea is described in a patient with a unilateral lateral medullary tegmental lesion, the first known with autopsy confirmation in which a unilateral lesion has caused this syndrome.
Abstract
Abstract A case of failure of automatic respiration with sleep apnea is described in a patient with a unilateral lateral medullary tegmental lesion. This case is the first known with autopsy confirmation in which a unilateral lesion has caused this syndrome.

There have been comparatively few detailed studies of the mode of development, frequency, or pathological physiology of "central respiratory failure" in poliomyelitis.

The patients with periodic sleep apnea are chronically sleep-deprived, a manifestation expressed by daytime somnolence, chronic fatigue and often by personality disturbances marked by paranoia, agitated depression and hostility.

There have been numerous authors who have published their experiences with high cervical cordotomies and some divergence of views, particularly in reference to respiratory difficulties, has continued.
Journal of the American Medical AssociationHYPOVENTILATION SYNDROME IN BULBAR POLIOMYELITIS
62 Citations1951Stanley J. Sarnoff
Because of the complex nature of respiratory inadequacy due to bulbar poliomyelitis and the severity of associated disturbances in acutely ill patients with this disease, there is little precise knowledge of the disturbed respiratory mechanism itself.

58 Citations1976Alan H. Lockwood
The presence of a pontomedullary respiratory pattern without an impaired CO2 response curve suggests that neurons that determine respiratory rhythm function independently from those that function as chemoreceptors.

57 Citations1950Stanley J. Sarnoff
Attempts to manage this type of patient in the tank type respirator of Drinker and Shaw 1 are generally thought to be ineffective, largely because of the inability to substitute the respirator's rhythm for the patient's grossly irregular "respiratory".

Hyperbaric oxygen was incorporated in the treatment of severe frostbite of the extremities at the Royal Victoria Hospital (Montreal) and the remarkable clinical course in this patient strongly suggests that this treatment was of definite value in sustaining viability in the peripheral tissue following cold injury.

The present report of a 43-year-old thin man with idiopathic alveolar hypoventilation is combined with a review of 12 similar patients reported by others to show that voluntary hyperventilation restores arterial oxygen saturation to normal.
