Abstract

In this short review, we provide an overview of developmental disorders causing autonomic nervous system dysregulation. We briefly discuss perinatal conditions that adversely impact developmental outcomes including apnea of prematurity, sudden infant death syndrome, and Rett syndrome. We provide a brief clinical description, an overview of known or hypothesized mechanisms for the disorder, and current standard of practice for treatment of each condition. Additionally, we consider preventative measures and complications of these disorders to provide further insight into the pathogenesis of specific autonomic dysregulation in neonates. The goal of this short review is to provide an updated understanding of the impact of autonomic dysregulation on development of brainstem circuits and to briefly highlight promising future treatment options and controversies.
