The paroxysmal motor events during sleep are certainly common.The systematic use of nocturnal video-polysomnography has largely improved the diagnostic yield in patients with clusters of nocturnal motor events.

متن کاملMutations in familial nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy might be associated with distinct neurological phenotypes
Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (ADNFLE) is a rare familial seizure disorder caused by mutations in at least two different subunit genes of the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), CHRNA4 and CHRNB2. ADNFLE was initially described as a "pure" seizure disorder with a mostly benign course. We have analysed the clinical features of 19 ADNFLE families from 12 countr...
