Diagnostic Criteria of Parasomnias and Other Paroxysmal Events in Sleep

Abstract

Parasomnias are undesirable physical reactions occurring during sleep transition, during arousal from sleep, or within the sleep period. Parasomnias are divided into sub- groups according to the stage of sleep; I) parasomnias usually associated with Non-Rapid eye movement sleep, II) parasomnias usually associated with Rapid eye movement sleep, III) other parasomnias. Parasomnias may significantly affect the patient and the relatives of the patient’s quality of life. The proper treatment is suggested when quality of life is affected. Therefore, proper diagnosis and differantial diagnosis from other paroksismal sleep behavior disorder should be done when these attacks detected.

 Parasomniler uyku geçişlerinde, uykudan uyanma ya da uyku sırasında ortaya çıkan istenilmeyen fiziksel reaksiyonlardır. Parasomniler uyku evrelerine göre; I) Non-rapid eye movement uykusu ile ilişkili parasomniler, II) Rapid eye movement uykusu ile ilişkili parasomniler ve III) Diğer parasomniler olarak sınıflandırılırlar. Hasta ve hasta yakınının yaşam kalitesini etkilediği dönemde mutlaka tedavi önerilmektedir. Bu nedenle uykunun paroksismal diğer olaylarından ayırt edilmesi ve doğru tanı konulması gerekmektedir.
