Abstract | Apnea or breath cessation is a serious life threatening event. It is most frequent in young children and newborns, by whom central apnea is the mean cause. Case presentation of a young infant with apnea is presented. Etiology, differential diagnosis, laboratory tests and therapy are discussed. Each apnea is serious event.
