Abstract
Home mechanical ventilation has recently become feasible in a number of conditions. Several small series and case reports mention respiratory insufficiency or failure in a subset of patients with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita. Two cases of successful home mechanical ventilation in children, now 7 years of age, who have spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita and respiratory insufficiency, are reported. Novel rehabilitation planning has facilitated the growth and development of these children.
