Progress on sleep disorders in anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2024.05.003

Abstract

Abstract:

Sleep disorders in patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis present in a variety of forms, are easily misdiagnosed, have complex mechanisms, and require early recognition and treatment. This article reviews the clinical manifestations, electrophysiological characteristics, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment principles of sleep disorders in anti-NMDAR encephalitis, in order to provide some help for clinicians to identify and treat sleep disorders in anti-NMDAR encephalitis.

Key words: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis, Sleep disorders, Review

摘要：

抗N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体（NMDAR）脑炎患者睡眠障碍表现形式多样，易误诊，机制复杂，需早期鉴别诊断与治疗。本文从抗NMDAR脑炎睡眠障碍的临床表现、电生理学特征、发病机制及治疗原则等方面进行综述，以为临床医师识别和治疗抗NMDAR脑炎睡眠障碍提供帮助。
