The case report of a male patient with the Pickwickian syndrome is presented. The results of the relevant neurophysiological examinations (polygraphic registration of EEG, electrocardiogram, respiration, thorax excursions, submental and intercostal electromyogram, electrooculogram) give an insight into the pathomechanisms and enable the differential diagnosis to be made between this condition and narcolepsy and also the Kleine-Levin syndrome; respiratory investigations (spirometry, hypercapnic ventilatory response: mouth occlusion pressure) make it possible to differentiate between the Pickwickian and Ondine's curse syndrome. The therapeutic management is discussed.
本文报告了一例患有匹克威克综合征的男性患者。相关神经生理学检查（脑电图、心电图、呼吸、胸廓运动、颏下和肋间肌电图、眼电图的多导记录）结果有助于深入了解发病机制，并能够对该病症与发作性睡病以及克莱恩-莱文综合征进行鉴别诊断；呼吸功能检查（肺活量测定、高碳酸血症通气反应：口腔闭合压）有助于区分匹克威克综合征和翁丁氏诅咒综合征。文中还讨论了治疗管理方法。
