Sleep


 For parents, caregivers, health care providers, and teachers, concerns and questions often arise regarding the care and well-being of individuals with Marshall-Smith syndrome. 

Several problems can occur during sleep. If a child lies on their back or stomach (instead of on their side), the usual breathing problems may become worse. Sometimes there are also short pauses in breathing (sleep apnoea).

Some children have seizures during sleep. It is important to tell your paediatrician what you notice during your child's sleep. Sometimes treatment for the symptoms is possible and necessary.
