Systematic Review: Sleep Disorders Based on Objective Data in Children and Adolescents Treated for a Brain Tumor.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) are the most common solid childhood malignancy. Over the last decades, treatment developments have strongly contributed to the improved overall 5-year survival rate, which is now approaching 75%. However, children now face significant long-term morbidity with late-effects including sleep disorders that may have detrimental impact on everyday functioning and quality of life. The aims of this study were to (1) describe the symptoms that lead to polysomnographic evaluation; (2) describe the nature of sleep disorders diagnosed in survivors of childhood CNS tumor using polysomnography (PSG); and (3) explore the association between tumor location and diagnosed sleep disorder.
