Abstract
The differential diagnosis for apnea in newborns and infants is extensive and includes, but is not limited to, central nervous, gastrointestinal, metabolic, and respiratory system disorders.1 Frequently no cause is found for the apnea. We present a case in which an unusual cause was found and only after many months. CASE REPORT S. K. was a healthy infant with a normal birth history and no significant problems until the age of 13 months when, while playing with his mother, he suddenly collapsed, becoming apneic and cyanotic. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was administered for 10 minutes before the child began to breathe spontaneously.
