[Clinico-morphologic description of insufficiency of chemoreceptors of the ventral surface of the medulla oblongata].
Using the method of reversed respiration, a decrease in the sensitivity of the ventilation regulation system to the hypercapnic stimulus was observed in a patient with acoustic neurinoma. Cytological and morphometric study of the tissue sections revealed a decrease in the size and number of neurocytes in the superficial portions of the ventral side of the medulla oblongata. It is concluded that the above structural changes are responsible for inhibition of the metabolic system of respiration regulation.
