The goal of this report is to review all aspects of sleepwalking (SW), also known as somnambulism. Various factors seem to initiate SW, especially drugs, stress, and sleep deprivation. As an etiology, heredity is important, but other conditions include thyrotoxicosis, stress, and herpes simplex
To show the results of the exploration conducted with intracerebral electrodes in a patients affected by epileptic nocturnal wanderings (ENWs).
METHODS
The patient was investigated with long-term video-stereo-electroencephalographic (SEEG) monitoring by means of stereotactically introduced
OBJECTIVE
Zaleplon is a newly-developed rapid-acting non-benzodiazepine hypnotic. Few reports discuss zaleplon-induced somnambulism. This report describes a patient without history of somnambulism, who developed amnesic somnambulism after taking low-dose of zaleplon.
METHODS
A 43-year-old
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
Sleep has traditionally been recognized as a precipitating factor for some forms of epilepsy, although differential diagnosis between some seizure types and parasomnias may be difficult. Autosomal dominant frontal lobe epilepsy is characterized by nocturnal seizures with hyperkinetic automatisms and
Episodic nocturnal wanderings (ENWs) have rarely been associated with gross abnormalities of brain structures. We describe the case of a patient with ENWs in coexistence with an arachnoid cyst (AC). The patient was a 15-year-old boy who presented with nocturnal attacks characterized by complex motor
Different pathological conditions may lead to somnambulic automatisms arising from nocturnal sleep. Video polysomnography represents the diagnostic tool but, due to the difficulty of capturing complex episodes in the sleep laboratory, audio-video recordings at home of the episodes may help in the
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
BACKGROUND
Sleepwalking is typically a benign and self-limited non-rapid eye movement parasomnia of childhood.
METHODS
We describe an unusual 15-year-old boy referred to our sleep center for new-onset sleepwalking.
RESULTS
An overnight polysomnogram was normal from a respiratory standpoint, but a
Episodic nocturnal wandering is rare and thought to be an atypical form of nocturnal epilepsy which is responsive to anticonvulsant therapy. We report a case of adult-onset episodic sleep-walking and daytime complex visual hallucination. Ambulatory EEG recordings suggested that both events were
Twelve patients, aged 19 to 29 years, presented with episodic nocturnal wanderings characterized by stereotyped frequent attacks of screaming, ambulation, and complex automatisms during sleep. The attacks ranged in frequency from two or three per year to several per night and were often associated
The authors review the literature on the epidemiology, the clinical and electrophysiological symptoms of somnambulism. The disorder specified as "nREM parasomnia with awakening disorder" belongs to the nREM sleep (awakening) parasomnias. In most of the cases its occurence is familial with the
A total of 171 children, 57 with Tourette syndrome, 57 with learning disabilities and the rest with seizure disorders, were studied to discover the incidence of somnambulism. Of the 13 identified sleepwalkers, 10 had Tourette syndrome. It is argued that this may be due to a disturbance in serotonin
Sleep deprivation commonly increases seizure frequency in patients with genetic generalized epilepsy, though it is unknown whether there is an increased prevalence of sleepwalking or sleep paralysis in genetic generalized epilepsy patients. Establishing this could provide insights into
