A brainstem inflammatory lesion causing REM sleep behavior disorder and sleepwalking (parasomnia overlap disorder)
Sleep Medicine, 10/01/09
Limousin N et al. – There were small hypointensities in the right pontine tegmentum and in the right dorsal medulla on T1–weighted magnetic resonance imaging, suggesting post–inflammatory lesions that persisted between acute episodes. The RBD and sleepwalking did not improve with clonazepam, but improved with melatonin 9mg/d. The unilateral small lesion of the pontine tegmentum could be responsible for the parasomnia overlap disorder as in other rare lesional cases.
