More than one in three adult patients suffering from narcolepsy-cataplexy experience rapid eye movement (REM) behavior disorder (RBD), while RBD in childhood is extremely rare. We present the cases of two girls (aged 9 and 7 years old) with narcolepsy-cataplexy, in whom RBD was one of the first symptoms of the disease. The coincidence of RBD was seen by nocturnal video-polysomnography (v-PSG), and narcolepsy was diagnosed from short sleep latency and multiple sleep onset REMs (SOREMs) during a multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). Both girls were human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1 *0602 positive, and their cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hypocretin level (Hcrt-1) was extremely low.
超过三分之一患有发作性睡病-猝倒症的成年患者会出现快速眼动(REM)睡眠行为障碍(RBD),而儿童期的RBD极为罕见。我们报告了两名患有发作性睡病-猝倒症的女孩(分别为9岁和7岁)的病例,其中RBD是该病的首发症状之一。通过夜间视频多导睡眠图(v-PSG)观察到RBD的存在,并在多次睡眠潜伏期试验(MSLT)中根据短睡眠潜伏期和多次睡眠起始快速眼动期(SOREMs)诊断为发作性睡病。两名女孩的人类白细胞抗原(HLA)-DQB1 *0602均为阳性,且其脑脊液(CSF)中下丘脑分泌素水平(Hcrt-1)极低。
