To report a case of recurrent isolated sleep paralysis (RISP), a benign parasomnia with worrisome and frightening sleep paralysis episodes.
description: We describe a case of RISP in a sixteen-year-old girl who seeks medical attention for anxiety symptoms. The sleep paralysis and associated auditory and tactile hallucinations began three years before with worsening in the last year, causing fear of sleeping. The episodes were intensely frightening causing negative impact in patient's sleep, school performance and social function. Medical conditions were excluded, and she started treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor with complete resolution of symptoms.
Sleep complaints are often devalued. Therefore, clinicians should actively ask their patients about their sleep during health assessment.
报告一例复发性孤立性睡眠麻痹（RISP）病例，这是一种伴有令人担忧和恐惧的睡眠麻痹发作的良性异态睡眠。
我们描述了一名16岁女孩的RISP病例，她因焦虑症状寻求医疗帮助。睡眠麻痹以及相关的听觉和触觉幻觉始于三年前，去年有所加重，导致害怕入睡。这些发作极其可怕，对患者的睡眠、学业表现和社交功能产生了负面影响。排除了躯体疾病，她开始使用选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂进行治疗，症状完全缓解。
睡眠问题常常被忽视。因此，临床医生在健康评估期间应积极询问患者的睡眠情况。
