REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a rare parasomnia in which persons exhibit uncharacteristic violent behavior, while dreaming. Secondary RBD occurs due to some neurological conditions, psychoactive substance or psychotropic drug use. There are no case reports on idiopathic RBD in India. We report here two cases to underscore the importance of identifying the disease as behavior associated with RBD may be quite serious in nature and might lead to catastrophic consequences.
快速眼动睡眠行为障碍(RBD)是一种罕见的异态睡眠,患者在做梦时会表现出异常的暴力行为。继发性RBD是由一些神经系统疾病、使用精神活性物质或精神药物引起的。在印度,尚无特发性RBD的病例报告。我们在此报告两例病例,以强调识别该疾病的重要性,因为与RBD相关的行为在本质上可能相当严重,并可能导致灾难性后果。
