Abstract

Aim:Patients with complaints excessive daytime sleepiness were evaluated with Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) electrophysiological findings and researched narcolepsy symptoms like nightmare, hallucinations, cataplexy in this study. Material and Method: To study 26 patients were admitted retrospectively with complaints of excessive daytime sleepiness at Dokuz Eylul University Faculty of Medicine Sleep Clinic in the dates December 2009- December 2010. Cases of narcolepsy symptoms (hallucinations-nightmare-cataplexy) and MSLT were evaluated together. The onset of REM sleep (SOREM) was counted, than SOREM (+) and SOREM (-) patients" sleep latency and narcolepsy symptoms were compared. All data were analyzed with SPSS 20.0. Results: The mean sleep latency assessed sleep latencies, gradually widening towards the end of the first sleep period, and it has been observed to be statistically significant(p:0.007). Conclusion: The mean sleep latency assessed sleep latencies, gradually widening towards the end of the first sleep period, and it has been observed to be statistically significant(p:0.007) and we thinked that it can be decreased of need to sleep during nap periods.

Multipl Sleep Latans Test Periyotlarının Değeri ve Klinik Korelasyonu

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı gündüz aşırı uykululuk yakınması nedeniyle multipl sleep latans test (MSLT) yapılan hastalarda çekim periyodlarındaki elektrofizyolojik bulgular ile narkolepsi semptomlarının ilişkilerinin incelenmesidir. Materyal ve Metod: Çalışmaya 2009-2010 yılları arasında Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Uyku Polikliniğine gündüz aşırı uykululuk yakınmasıyla başvurmuş 26 olgu retrospektif olarak alınmıştır. Olguların narkolepsi semptomları (karabasan-halusinasyon-katapleksi) ve MSLT ile belirlenen REM başlangıçlı uyku (SOREM) sayısı, SOREM (+) ve SOREM (-) hastalardaki uyku latansları karşılaştırılmıştır. Veriler SPSS 20.0 ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Olguların ortalama uyku latansları değerlendirildiğinde uyku latanslarının ilk uyku periyodundan sona doğru giderek uzadığı ve bunun istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu gözlenmiştir (p:0.007). Sonuç: Ortalama uyku latanslarının ilk uyku periyodundan sona doğru giderek uzadığı, bunun tekrarlayan uyku periyodlarıyla giderek azalan uyku yüküne bağlı olduğu düşünülmüştür.
