We describe the clinical and polysomnographic characteristics of 12 patients complaining of expiratory groaning during sleep. Groaning occurred almost exclusively during rapid eye movement sleep. We reviewed all the literature cases, obtaining a total sample of 27 patients. There is no evident association with any predisposing factors or underlying disease. The results obtained from empirical treatment, including drugs and CPAP, are unsatisfactory. The origins of nocturnal groaning, as well as the long-term prognosis, remained unexplained.
我们描述了12例主诉睡眠期间呼气呻吟的患者的临床和多导睡眠图特征。呻吟几乎仅发生在快速眼动睡眠期间。我们回顾了所有文献报道的病例，共获得27例患者的样本。与任何诱发因素或潜在疾病均无明显关联。包括药物和持续气道正压通气（CPAP）在内的经验性治疗结果并不理想。夜间呻吟的起源以及长期预后仍不明确。
