Recurrent apnea and respiratory depression with an absence of ophthalmoplegia are features of this syndrome, which if untreated can lead to sudden death.

Perinatal testicular torsion and the hard testicle.
Perinatal testicular torsion in the neonate is uncommon. However, early diagnosis is important to enable timely surgical exploration. The presence of a hard testis should raise the suspicion of perinatal torsion. The cases of two infants with this disease process are presented. The rationale for scrotal exploration is discussed.
