RESUMO

Excessive daytime sleepiness is a common presenting symptom that may present a diagnostic challenge for the sleep medicine clinician. We present a case of an adolescent female with excessive daytime sleepiness and "sleep attacks" who was evaluated using a 2-week sleep log, wrist actigraphy, baseline polysomnogram, and Multiple Sleep Latency Test. Multiple Sleep Latency Test results noted a short mean sleep latency without sleep onset rapid eye movement periods, concerning for possible central disorders of hypersomnolence. However, actigraphy data noted a habitual bedtime of midnight or later, resulting in less than recommended total sleep time for her age on weekdays with extended sleep periods on the weekends. The most unique actigraphy finding was exposure to ambient light throughout most overnight sleep periods. When actigraphy results were discussed with the patient, she revealed recent onset of severe anxiety with fear of sleeping in the dark. This case highlights the importance of thorough clinical evaluation, and careful interpretation of objective tests, when evaluating for causes of excessive daytime sleepiness.

RESUMO

Symptomatic progression of Chiari malformation type 1 (CM-1) can be difficult to recognize in children because of the slow progressive nature of the disorder and highly varied neurological symptoms. We present a case of an obese 11-year-old girl seeking an evaluation of snoring. Progressive social impairment and academic difficulties were also endorsed. The past medical history was remarkable for absence seizures at an earlier age with an incidental finding of CM-1 on brain imaging. No headaches, vision changes, or swallowing dysfunction were endorsed in the acute presentation. The patient underwent a polysomnogram, which revealed the unexpected finding of severe central sleep apnea. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed further herniation of the cerebellar tonsils and a cervical syrinx, which was not present on initial imaging. Posterior fossa decompression resulted in the successful resolution of symptoms. It was postulated that the social impairment and academic problems were manifestations of CM-1. There are no current standard protocols for disease surveillance of pediatric CM-1. Annual polysomnograms may serve as a useful tool. CITATION: Kanney ML, Spear J, Hsu DP.

RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVES: In this study we investigated the clinical correlates of restless legs syndrome in children with autism and report on our experiences with response to treatment. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of children seen in our sleep center from 2016-2019 was performed to identify children with autism and chronic insomnia. Patients underwent clinical assessments for restless legs symptomatology. Overnight polysomnogram, serum ferritin testing, and response to clinical treatment data were collected. RESULTS: A total of 103 children with autism and chronic insomnia were identified (age range 2-19 years). Of these, 41 children (39%) were diagnosed with restless legs syndrome. The diagnosis of restless legs syndrome was associated with significantly lower serum ferritin levels (mean 29 ± 18.62 ng/mL vs non-restless legs syndrome 56.7 ± 17.59, P < .001) and higher periodic limb movements of sleep on polysomnogram (8.12 ± 6.6 vs non-restless legs syndrome 0.06 ± 0.17). The presence of leg kicking, body rocking, or any symptoms involving the legs was highly correlated with the diagnosis of restless legs syndrome. Positive treatment response was noted in nearly all treated patients, including those treated with oral iron supplementation alone (25 children, 23 responders), gabapentin alone (12 children, all responders), and combination therapy (3 children, all responders). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest restless legs syndrome may represent an under-recognized cause of insomnia in children with autism. Initial assessment should include a thorough query of behaviors related to nocturnal motor complaints, because restless legs syndrome may be a treatable cause of sleep disruption.

RESUMO

The prevalence of severe pediatric obesity is rising and poses many adverse health risks. Children with obesity are at increased risk of several cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. They are also more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which increases the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic problems. In this review, we examine the relationship between OSA and obesity, improvements in OSA after non-surgical and surgical weight loss, and explore potential directions for future research.
