Abstract

Sleep disorders are frequently described in autoimmune encephalitis (AE); however, data on sleep texture are fragmentary. We analyzed the polysomnography of a woman affected by AE, and we performed cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) scoring during the subacute phase of the disease and at follow-up. The first polysomnography showed deviations both at macro and microstructure levels, with a marked reduction of CAP rate compare to healthy sleepers (20.8% vs 33%). After 6-months sleep macrostructure improved, whilst CAP parameters remained abnormal. This is the first polysomnographic analysis, comprehensive of microstructural data, performed in AE. We briefly discuss the results.
