Although a central role of the thalamus for sleep regulation is undisputed, the exact localization of the crucial structures within the thalamus remains controversial.
Here we report a 35 year old woman with no prior comorbidities who developed severe and persistent hypersomnia with long sleep time after a small right-sided MRI-verified thalamic stroke affecting the dorsal part of the pulvinar and the dorsolateral boarders of the dorsomedial nuclei.
The observed symptoms suggest a crucial role of posterior thalamus but not the midline parts of the thalamus in sleep-wake control.
尽管丘脑在睡眠调节中的核心作用是毋庸置疑的,但丘脑内关键结构的确切位置仍存在争议。
本文报告了一例 35 岁女性,无既往合并症,在 MRI 证实右侧丘脑小卒中后出现严重且持续的嗜睡,总睡眠时间延长,病灶累及后丘脑被盖部和背内侧核的背外侧边界。
观察到的症状表明,后丘脑而非丘脑中线部位在后睡眠-觉醒控制中起关键作用。
