Abstract

Nocturnal panic attack is characterized by sudden awakening from sleep followed by the classical symptoms of panic disorder. Although it occurs nearly in half of adult panic disorder cases, little is known about occurrence and treatment in childhood. In this paper, we present a 12 years old girl, hospitalized in the paediatric inpatient unit for her nocturnal seizures; consulted to child and adolescent psychiatry department during management; diagnosed as panic disorder and recovered with sertraline. Nocturnal panic attack is one of the main causes of non-epileptic seizures that would benefit from psychiatric treatment options and has to be considered in differential diagnosis of nocturnal paroxysmal events.

Abstract

Uykuda panik atak, uykudan aniden uyanma ve bunu takip eden klasik panik atak bulgularıyla karakterizedir. Yetişkin panik bozukluk olgularının neredeyse yarısında görülebilen bu durumun çocuklarda görülmesi ve tedavisi konusunda ise çok az şey bilinmektedir. Bu yazıda çocuk hastalıkları servisinde uykuda geçirdiği nöbetler nedeniyle yatarak izlemi yapılırken çocuk ergen ruh sağlığı ve hastalıkları konsültasyonu istenilen; panik bozukluk tanısı konulduktan sonra sertralin ile bulguları tamamen düzelen 12 yaşında bir kız çocuğunun takip ve tedavi süreci sunulmuştur. Uykuda görülen nöbetlere çocukluk çağında sıkça rastlanmakta; bu nöbetler genellikle epilepsi nöbetleri olarak tanımlanıp antiepileptiklerle tedavi edilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Ancak bu nöbetlerin önemli bir kısmının gerçekte psikojenik kökenli nöbetler olduğu bilinmektedir. Gece panik atakları psikojenik kaynaklı nöbetlerin en önemli nedenlerindendir ve tekrarlayıcı gece nöbetlerinin ayırıcı tanısında göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
