title: [The treatment of central sleep-apnea syndrome, updated information, and review of the literature].
abstract: Central sleep-apnea syndrome (CSAS) is a disease state characterized by respiratory arrest as a result of decrease or lack of respiratory drive originating from respiratory center. Although it is seen in less than 5% of the casses who consult to the sleep disorders center, incidence of CSAS increases in the presence of congestive heart and/or renal failure, and central nervous system abnormalities. Treatment of CSAS which has been analyzed under six headings in the last version of International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD-2), differs among each type of CSAS. In this review, our aim is to analyze treatment alternatives for CSAS in the light of currently updated information.
