ABSTRACT
A case of a 63-year-old patient with motor neurone disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) with central sleep apnoea syndrome is being reported. His sleep architecture was fragmented with a high apnea-hypopnea index of 65 per hour and maximum oxygen-desaturation of 78 percent. Total correction of sleep pattern with nasal non-invasive ventilation (BiPAP-ST) was demonstrated.

ABSTRACT
Two patients with post-ventilatory tracheal stenosis were treated by repeated dilatation with oesophageal dilators under general anaesthesia, and direct vision of the fiberoptic bronchoscope. The results of dilatations were remarkable and the patients continue to be asymptomatic after a follow up of more than two years.
