We present the case of a patient with multiple system atrophy who presented with central apnea as the only sleep disordered breathing, associated with REM behavior disorder and restless legs syndrome. This presentation of the disease is unusual and probably reflects more widespread involvement at the onset. With this case, we show the importance of considering this kind of disease in the differential diagnosis of central sleep apnea syndromes.
我们报告了一例多系统萎缩患者,其仅以中枢性呼吸暂停作为睡眠呼吸障碍,同时伴有快速眼动睡眠行为障碍和不宁腿综合征。该疾病的这种表现并不常见,可能反映出在发病初期受累范围更广。通过这个病例,我们展示了在中枢性睡眠呼吸暂停综合征的鉴别诊断中考虑此类疾病的重要性。
