Abstract
Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder with a distinct phenotype, including involuntary movements, cognitive decline, and behavioral disturbances. Sleep disorder include insomnia, increased sleep onset latency, decrease in total sleep time with frequent nocturnal awakenings and excessive daytime sleepiness. Increased sleep motor activities and abnormal nocturnal agitation have been increasingly recognized as an important component affecting negatively the sleep quality. Here, we report a case of an intensification of diurnal choreic movement during the night, notably during REM-sleep in a patient with manifest HD. This case highlights the diversity of nocturnal sleep motor disorders encountered in HD.
亨廷顿氏病(Huntington's disease,HD)是一种罕见的神经退行性疾病,具有独特的表型,包括不自主运动、认知能力下降和行为紊乱。睡眠障碍包括失眠、睡眠开始潜伏期延长、总睡眠时间减少、夜间频繁觉醒和白天过度嗜睡。越来越多的人认识到,睡眠运动活动增加和夜间异常躁动是影响睡眠质量的重要因素。在此,我们报告了一例夜间肢体运动加剧的病例,特别是在一名明显患有 HD 的患者的快速动眼期睡眠中。该病例凸显了 HD 患者夜间睡眠运动障碍的多样性。
