Abstract
|
|
|
REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a sleep disorder characterized by loss of normal voluntary muscle atonia during REM sleep associated with complex motor behavior while dreaming. Dream-enacting behaviors can also occur in patients with other sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This clinical situation has been termed ¡°pseudo-RBD¡±. In contrast, OSA causes frequent arousal, which may consequently result in masking of RBD symptoms. We reported two patients with severe OSA, who were initially diagnosed with ¡°pseudo-RBD¡± but on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) titration, rediagnosed with ¡°true-RBD¡±. When RBD is clinically suspected but is not confirmed by diagnostic overnight polysomnography, we have to keep in mind that RBD could be detected during CPAP titration.
