Abstract
Objectives: Encephalitis with anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antibodies (anti-NMDARe) is a rare disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, psychosis, seizures, and abnormal movements. Abnormal behaviors during REM sleep have not been described in anti-NMDARe.
Methods: Patients were monitored by video-polysomnography on a first night followed by multiple sleep latency tests and 18 hours of bed rest.
Results: Two patients with anti-NMDARe developed during the acute and postacute phase parasomnias including REM sleep behavior disorder and continuous finalistic quiet gesturing during a mixed N2/R sleep. The parasomnia disorder was improved by gabapentin and clonazepam.
Discussion: Video-polysomnography avoids misdiagnosing these parasomnia behaviors for seizure or movement disorders and allows adequate treatment.
期刊介绍:
Neurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation is an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Neurology: Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation will be the premier peer-reviewed journal in neuroimmunology and neuroinflammation. This journal publishes rigorously peer-reviewed open-access reports of original research and in-depth reviews of topics in neuroimmunology & neuroinflammation, affecting the full range of neurologic diseases including (but not limited to) Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS, tauopathy, and stroke; multiple sclerosis and NMO; inflammatory peripheral nerve and muscle disease, Guillain-Barré and myasthenia gravis; nervous system infection; paraneoplastic syndromes, noninfectious encephalitides and other antibody-mediated disorders; and psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Clinical trials, instructive case reports, and small case series will also be featured.
