COEXISTENT SEIZURES AND NREM PARASOMNIA: A CASE REPORT

The association between seizures and parasomnias in a single individual has been highlighted by this case report, which describes a patient with Sleep Hypermotor Seizures (SHE) developing Non Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) Parasomnias later in the course of illness, with both existing in a temporal proximity. Detailed history taking and evaluation with scales were earned out, along with laboratory investigations such as Polysomnography (PSG) and Electroencephalography (EEG), all of which confirmed this coexistence of the two entities. The treatment decision was taken keeping in mind the theories of common origin of the two. Research and reporting of such coexistence is thus justified for better understanding and combined management of such cases.
