Polysomnographic recordings of respiratory disturbances in Rett syndrome.

Polygraphic recordings in the awake state and during sleep were performed in two girls with Rett syndrome, aged 9 y and 17 y, in order to characterize the clinically manifest breathing disorder of these patients. Primary hyperventilation was detected, leading to hypocapnia and compensatory apnoea. Hypoxaemia occurred as the consequence of prolonged apnoea. In the younger patient these disturbances were observed only in the awake state, whereas in the older patient they were found in the awake state and during sleep.

[Hypersomnia in multiple sclerosis].

A 13-year-old girl presented with hyersomnia and incontinence of urine. The clinical course was complicated by strabism, muscle weakness and coordination and balance disturbances. VEP recording were pathologic. Myelin basic protein in the cerebrospinal fluid was elevated. Nuclear resonance imaging of the brain revealed multiple areas of demyelination. These findings supported the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. There was a marked disturbance of the sleep-waking-pattern during the acute phase of the illness. The hypnogram resembled the pattern of polysymptomatic narcolepsy. Regression of symptoms was noted with dexamethasone therapy.
