Narcolepsy is a common sleep disorder with a prevalence of about 0.02%. However, it may remain largely unrecognized in the Indian population owing to the perceived low prevalence. To the best of our knowledge there is only one case of narcolepsy reported from India so far. We present a case of narcolepsy with cataplexy with classical clinical and polysomnographic findings of narcolepsy.
嗜睡症是一种常见的睡眠障碍,其患病率约为 0.02%。然而,由于人们认为嗜睡症的患病率较低,它在印度人群中可能仍未被广泛认识。据我们所知,迄今为止,印度仅报告了一例嗜睡症病例。我们报告了一例伴有猝倒的嗜睡症病例,其具有嗜睡症的典型临床和多导睡眠图表现。
