Sudden nocturnal events with an affective semiology may have various etiologies, such as nocturnal panic attacks, nightmares, pavor nocturnus and/or different types of focal epileptic seizures, particularly in children. We describe the case of a normally developed boy who, at the age of two years,
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the suspected epileptic origin in children with episodes masquerading as sleep terrors.
METHODS
One such child was investigated with scalp-derived long-term monitoring (LTM), inter and ictal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans, and an invasive LTM, followed
Confusional arousals, paroxysmal arousals (as part of the nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy) and normal arousals and awakenings from NREM sleep are frequently a challenge for differential diagnosis. In this article we describe the course of synchronisation between different EEG channels during
Convulsive epilepsies are generally unmistakable. Absence epilepsies, which are easily recognized by the provocation of an episode during hyperventilation and by the typical features of the EEG, can be overdiagnosed, especially in the child who daydreams in class and has scattered, asymptomatic,
We report the case of a 3-year-old boy with a history of frequent and injurious sleep-related rhythmic movements and sleep terrors. We documented six episodes of body rocking and head banging via video polysomnography. No epileptic seizures were observed. In addition to the association between a
A case of night terror with sleepwalking in an adult patient is described. Sleep polygraphic data are presented. The literature related to sleepwalking, night terror and its treatment is reviewed. The psychopathologic patterns of sleepwalking and night terror are illustrated and the differentiations
Six patients (3M, 3F, mean age 17.3 yrs) presenting different types of evolution from disorders of arousal to epilepsy are described. All subjects during their childhood had been diagnosed in a sleep center as affected by sleep-walking (three cases) and night terrors (the other three). Successively
The aim of this report is not to make a differential diagnosis between epileptic nocturnal seizures and non-epileptic sleep-related movement disorders, or parasomnias. On the contrary, our goal is to emphasize the commonly shared semiological features of some epileptic seizures and parasomnias. Such
A 16-year-old boy with a recent diagnosis of night terrors was evaluated for recurrent early morning hypoglycemia after an early morning seizure. Evaluation in clinic with critical laboratories identified hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Additional investigation revealed a sporadic insulinoma as the
Part I. The EEG recordings of 434 patients were activated by graded sleep deprivation. In clinically manifest epilepsies with a predominantly negative EEG tracing at rest the incidence of epileptic manifestations increased after sleep deprivation from 18.03% to 59.01%, in clinically suspect
During the past century, infrequent, anecdotal reports of sleep-related violence with forensic science implications have appeared. Recent rapid developments in the field of sleep-disorders medicine have resulted in greater understanding of a variety of sleep-related behaviors, and formal
Arousal Disorders (AD) are motor behaviours arising from NREM sleep. They comprise a spectrum of manifestations of increasing complexity from confusional arousal to sleep terror to sleepwalking. AD usually appear in childhood with a low frequency of episodes and spontaneously disappear before
Sleepwalking is one of the parasomnias, a group of disorders that also includes night terrors, nocturnal enuresis and nightmares. This disorder of arousal is much more common in children than in adults, and it is commonly associated with other parasomnias. Sleepwalking typically occurs during the
Parasomnia is a common pediatric sleep disorder that can cause parents or caregivers distress when experienced by their children. Based on the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, parasomnias can be divided into two subgroups: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) parasomnias and rapid eye
Neurologic disorders may present or masquerade as pediatric sleep problems and fool the pediatrician, which may delay diagnosis and treatment. Many of the sleep problems in children with neurologic disorders arise directly from primary dysfunction or delayed maturation of their sleep-wake regulation
