Interictal epileptiform discharges and phasic phenomena of REM sleep.
The objective of this study was to assess the effect of phasic rapid eye movement (REM) sleep events on interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs). Twelve patients with focal epilepsy and IEDs during REM sleep were examined by video-EEG monitoring. The number of IEDs was calculated in different REM sleep episodes according to the rate of rapid eye movements. A negative correlation was identified...
متن کاملREM sleep behavior disorder (RBD)
Background. REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is parasomnia characterized by dream enactment and enabled by disruption of physiologicalmuscle atonia during REM sleep. Over the past few years, diagnostic criteria and the methods used to confirm diagnosis have been updated. Objective. In this review article, the current knowledge regarding RBD diagnosis and treatment is presented. Methods. A sele...
متن کاملDetection of Interictal Epileptiform Discharges in Eeg
The diagnosis of epilepsy heavily depends on the detection of epileptiform discharges in interictal EEG, the EEG in between two seizures. By visual analysis a physician wants to detect these epileptiform discharges (spikes). Due to the wide variety of morphologies of epileptiform discharges, and their similarity to waves that are part of normal EEG or to artifacts, this detection is far from st...
متن کاملREM sleep behavior disorder in psychiatric populations.
To the Editor: Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by a loss of REMrelated muscle atonia and abnormal motor activities during REM sleep with consequent sleep-related injuries.1,2 It has been increasingly reported among psychiatric populations and has a potential association with use of psychotropics, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhi...
متن کاملEthical considerations in REM sleep behavior disorder.
A patient diagnosed with REM behavior sleep disorder (RBD) has as much as a 65% risk of developing an α-synucleinopathy. Currently, it is not possible to predict whether an individual will develop a disease, or, if so, which disease.The neurologist treating the patient must consider (1) the difference between disclosing a diagnosis and disclosing the risk of a diagnosis; (2) whether to disclose...
