ABSTRACT
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome is a rare disease characterized by a lack of automatic, but with intact, voluntary control of breathing. Patients with this disease need assisted ventilation mostly during sleep. To the best of our knowledge our patient is the first case reported among Saudi and Arab children. Since these patients need special respiratory care with difficulties in family adaptation, reappraisal is needed of the available therapeutic option in the kingdom, including the availability of adequate support for home ventilation at different regions
