ABSTRACT |
Catathrenia is a chronic, usually nightly disorder characterized by expiratory groaning during sleep, particularly during the second half of
the night. Polysomnography reveals recurrent bradypneic episodes that emerge mainly during REM sleep. I present a case of catathrenia who
had episodes of bradypnea associated with vocalization confirmed by polysomnography. |
