Central neurogenic hyperventilation in a conscious patient with a primary cerebral lymphoma.
The clinical and neuropathological findings of a patient with central neurogenic hyperventilation are described. The patient had an extensive primary central nervous system lymphoma but no lesions below the level of the superior colliculus. The possible mechanism of central neurogenic hyperventilation is discussed with reference to the present case and those previously described.
