Sodium oxybate (GHB, Xyrem, Jazz Pharmaceuticals) is used to treat cataplexy in patients with narcolepsy. We report the case of a middle aged, normo-ponderal narcoleptic woman without risk factors who developed reversible sleep apnea and objective sleepiness when treated by sodium oxybate, with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 19.7 on sodium oxybate and AHI 4.8 without treatment. Despite a subjective improvement in vigilance, mean sleep latency on MWT decreased from 21 minutes to 8 minutes on sodium oxybate.
羟丁酸钠(GHB,Xyrem,Jazz 制药公司)用于治疗发作性睡病患者的猝倒症。我们报告了一例中年、正常体重的发作性睡病女性患者,无危险因素,在接受羟丁酸钠治疗后出现可逆性睡眠呼吸暂停和客观嗜睡,羟丁酸钠治疗时的呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)为 19.7,未治疗时为 4.8。尽管警觉性主观改善,但MWT 的平均睡眠潜伏期从 21 分钟降至羟丁酸钠治疗时的 8 分钟。
