A case of sleep apnoea occurring only within REM sleep in a 57-year-old man is described. It was successfully treated with clomipramine for a period. The patient probably had persistent phrenic nerve damage which accounted for, or contributed to, the phenomenon. It is suggested that this mechanism may operate in some cot deaths.
本文描述了一名57岁男性仅在快速眼动睡眠期出现睡眠呼吸暂停的病例。该患者接受氯米帕明治疗一段时间后病情得到成功缓解。患者可能存在持续性膈神经损伤,这可以解释或导致该现象的发生。有观点认为,这种机制可能在某些婴儿猝死综合征中起作用。
