Abstract

Narcolepsy is a syndrome characterized by abnormality in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle. It is a chronic disease commonly diagnosed between the ages of 40 and 60. However, the first symptoms often appear in childhood and/or adolescence. It is accepted that pediatric cases of narcolepsy generally remain unrecognized and undiagnosed. Clinical heterogeneity, especially in childhood, and development of symptoms over time contribute to the delay in diagnosis and treatment. The clinical symptoms and polysomnographic findings of five cases of pediatric narcolepsy are presented in this case report.

Özet

Narkolepsi, uyku-uyanıklık döngüsünün düzenlenmesinde bozuklukla karakterize bir sendromdur. Ço¤unlukla 40-60 yaşları arasında tanı konan kronik bir bozukluktur. Ancak ilk belirtiler sıklıkla çocukluk ve/veya ergenlik döneminde ortaya çıkmaktadır. Pediatrik narkolepsi olgularının genellikle farkına varılmadığı ve tanı konmadığı kabul edilir. Özellikle çocukluk çağındaki klinik heterojenite ve belirtilerin zaman içinde gelişiyor olması tanı ve tedavinin gecikmesine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu yazıda beş pediatrik narkolepsi olgusunun klinik belirti ve polisomnografik bulguları sunulmuştur.
