Abstract
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a variety of neurological and systemic symptoms, including cerebellar ataxia, cataracts, tendon xanthomas, and polyneuropathy. This study aimed to investigate sleep patterns and disorders in four patients diagnosed with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. All participants reported significant sleep disturbances, and objective assessments confirmed the presence of insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, obstructive sleep apnea, and periodic limb movements. Notably, this is the first study to incorporate sleep assessments into the clinical management of CTX patients, which may be crucial for improving their quality of life. Further research is warranted to deepen our understanding of the potential impact of cholestanol deposits on regions of the central nervous system involved in sleep and circadian rhythm regulation.
期刊介绍:
Sleep Medicine aims to be a journal no one involved in clinical sleep medicine can do without.
A journal primarily focussing on the human aspects of sleep, integrating the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine: neurology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine (particularly pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, sleep technology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and dentistry.
The journal publishes the following types of articles: Reviews (also intended as a way to bridge the gap between basic sleep research and clinical relevance); Original Research Articles; Full-length articles; Brief communications; Controversies; Case reports; Letters to the Editor; Journal search and commentaries; Book reviews; Meeting announcements; Listing of relevant organisations plus web sites.
