Head banging is one subtype of sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder, characterized by stereotyped, repetitive rhythmic movements, such as lifting the head or entire upper body, banging the frontal area hard on the pillow, or slamming the occiput against a headboard. An atypical form of head banging with punching or slapping the head with a hand is extremely rare, with only 4 such cases reported so far. Herein, we present a young adult male who, since his early teens, has had atypical head banging, also called head-slapping, and discuss the neuropsychological and polysomnographic findings and review the literature.

头部撞击是睡眠相关节律运动障碍的一种亚型,其特征是刻板的、重复的节律运动,如抬起头部或整个上半身,用力将前额撞向枕头,或用力将后脑勺撞向床头板。头部撞击的一种非典型形式是用手击打或拍打头部,极其罕见,迄今为止仅报告了 4 例此类病例。在此,我们介绍了一位年轻男性,他从十几岁开始就出现了非典型的头部撞击,也称为头部拍打,并讨论了神经心理学和多导睡眠图检查结果,并复习了文献。
