  • Title: Diaphragm pacing in central von Recklinghausen's disease: a case report.
    Author: Richardson RR, Johnson N, Cerullo LJ.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1978; 3(1):75-8. PubMed ID: 98732.
    Abstract:
    A patient with central von Recklinghausen's disease with multiple lower cranial nerve tumors developed nocturnal central hypoventilation that was successfully treated with diaphragm pacing. An unusual postimplant complication requiring an increased amplitude of stimulation occurred and was later found to be due to a neurofibroma that had partially displaced the electrode cuff off the phrenic nerve.
