Waking Sleeping. 1979 Sep-Dec;3(4):361-4.
Report of a 56-year-old patient with a one-year-history of uncontrolable sleep attacks occurring at daytime and episodes of unsteadiness, dizziness, diplopia and dysarthria. The clinical evaluation revealed evidence of vertebrobasilar artery enlargement and insufficiency. He has become symptom-free under appropriate treatment. This raises the question of "symptomatic narcolepsy" caused by vascular brain stem disorder.
一名56岁患者的报告，该患者有一年日间不可控制的睡眠发作病史，伴有步态不稳、头晕、复视和构音障碍发作。临床评估发现椎基底动脉扩张和供血不足的证据。经过适当治疗，他已无症状。这就引出了由血管性脑干疾病引起的“症状性发作性睡病”的问题。
