Polygraphic Recording

In order to evaluate autonomic nervous system changes occurring before nocturnal headache attacks, we studied three subjects (one male, two females) suffering from chronic migraine. All three patients underwent a nocturnal polygraphic recording including continuous monitoring of systemic arterial pressure and heart rate. Two subjects showed increases and irregularities of arterial pressure before awakening with headache. These changes began during N–REM sleep and lasted during REM sleep preceding the awakening with headache. Heart rate did not change before the attacks. These findings do not support the hypothesis that autonomic instability during REM sleep represents the precipitating factor of the attacks. On a étudié avec des méthodes polygrafiques trois sujets (1 homme et deux femmes) souffrant d'hémicranie chronique avec des crises nocturnes. Chez deux malades les crises étaient précédées d'augmentation et d'irrégularité de la tension artérielle. Ces modifications commençaient pendant le sommeil N-REM et contineaient pendant le sommeil REM qui précédait le réveil avec hémicranie. La fréquence cardiaque n'a pas subi de modification avant les crises. Les résultats obtenus ne confirment l'hypothèse selon laquelle le facteur causant les crises est l'instabilité anticronique à la fase REM. Sono stati studiati con metodiche poligrafiche 3 soggetti (1 maschio e 2 femmine) affetti da emicrania cronica con attacchi notturni. In 2 di essi gli attacchi erano preceduti da incrementi ed irregolarità della pressione arteriosa. Tali modificazioni iniziavano durante il sonno N-REM e perduravano nel corso del sonno REM che precedeva il risveglio con cefalea. La frequenza cardiaca non si modificava prima dell'attacco. I risultati ottenuti non confermano l'ipotesi che il fattore precipitante gli attacchi emicranici sia l'instabilità anticronica della fase REM.

Disordered Breathing

Objective. To determine whether upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) can be recognized and distinguished from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in prepubertal children based on clinical evaluations, and, in a subgroup of the population, to compare the efficacy of esophageal pressure (Pes) monitoring to that of transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (tcPco2) and expired carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements in identifying UARS in children. Study Design. A retrospective study was performed on children, 12 years and younger, seen at our clinic since 1985. Children with diagnoses of sleep-disordered breathing were drawn from our database and sorted by age and initial symptoms. Clinical findings, based on interviews and questionnaires, an orocraniofacial scale, and nocturnal polygraphic recordings were tabulated and compared. If the results of the first polygraphic recording were inconclusive, a second night's recording was performed with the addition of Pes monitoring. In addition, simultaneous measurements of tcPco2 and endtidal CO2 with sampling through a catheter were performed on this second night in 76 children. These 76 recordings were used as our gold standard, because they were the most comprehensive. For this group, 1848 apneic events and 7040 abnormal respiratory events were identified based on airflow, thoracoabdominal effort, and Pes recordings. We then analyzed the simultaneously measured tcPCo2 and expired CO2 levels to ascertain their ability to identify these same events. Results. The first night of polygraphic recording was inconclusive enough to warrant a second recording in 316 of 411 children. Children were identified as having either UARS (n = 259), OSAS (n = 83), or other sleep disorders (n = 69). Children with small triangular chins, retroposition of the mandible, steep mandibular plane, high hard palate, long oval-shaped face, or long soft palate were highly likely to have sleep-disordered breathing of some type. If large tonsils were associated with these features, OSAS was much more frequently noted than UARS. In the 76 gold standard children, Pes, tcPco2, and expired CO2 measurements were in agreement for 1512 of the 1848 apneas and hypopneas that were analyzed. Of the 7040 upper airway resistance events, only 2314 events were consonant in all three measures. tcPco2 identified only 33% of the increased respiratory events identified by Pes; expired CO2 identified only 53% of the same events. Conclusions. UARS is a subtle form of sleep-disordered breathing that leads to significant clinical symptoms and day and nighttime disturbances. When clinical symptoms suggest abnormal breathing during sleep but obstructive sleep apneas are not found, physicians may, mistakenly, assume an absence of breathing-related sleep problems. Symptoms and orocraniofacial information were not useful in distinguishing UARS from OSAS but were useful in distinguishing sleep-disordered breathing (UARS and OSAS) from other sleep disorders. The analysis of esophageal pressure patterns during sleep was the most revealing of the three techniques used for recognizing abnormal breathing patterns during sleep.

Polygraphic Recording

Three children with sleep apnea, alveolar hypoventilation, apparent mental retardation, and poor growth associated with chronically enlarged tonsils and adenoids were treated with the use of a nasopharyngeal tube followed by tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. The effectiveness of this therapy was documented by polygraphic recording of sleep stages and respirations, and by correlation with serial arterial blood gases and pH. The nasopharyngeal tube was well tolerated, easy to use, and effective in diagnosis and treatment. We suggest that its use be further evaluated in patients with obstructive apnea.

Panayiotopoulos Syndrome

The differential diagnosis of an episode of transient loss of consciousness can be sometimes very tricking, in particular when symptoms peculiar of syncope are mixed with focal neurological symptoms. We report the case of a 54-year-old woman who suddenly claimed, during a polygraphic recording (electroencephalography/electrocardiogram), a feeling of fear and tachycardia followed by loss of consciousness and then a tonic posturing of the left limbs. Polygraphic recording showed a critical electroencephalographic pattern starting from left temporo-zygomatic channels followed after few seconds by a sudden slowing of cortical background activity associated with an episode of asystole, as witnessed simultaneously by electrocardiogram. Muscular activity covered electroencephalographic activity of following minutes. This case provides an opportunity to highlight the existence of rare conditions such as ictal arrhythmias which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of episodes of transient loss of consciousness in particular when dysautonomic and neurological symptoms are intermingled. Autonomic symptoms (vomiting, tachycardia, cyanosis, bradycardia and asystole) may be also more frequent in idiopathic (more rarely symptomatic) epilepsies of childhood (Panayiotopoulos syndrome).

Rest Activity

Within the sleep of adults and infants there are cyclic fluctuations between quiet and active sleep. These fluctuations may also persist during wakefulness as rest-activity cycles but are less readily detected. They constitute a fundamental biological rhythm on which other daily rhythms are superimposed. In adults the rest-activity cycle is 90 minutes in duration. The quiet-active sleep cycles of term, 3-, and 8-month-old infants were determined by polygraphic recording of eye and body movements, respirations, and electroencephalogram. The cycle length at term was 47 minutes and 49 and 50 minutes at 3 and 8 months. The increase in cycle length with maturation was not significant, but there was a significant change in the proportion of quiet to active sleep within a cycle. At term they were equal, while at 8 months quiet sleep was twice as long as active sleep. Quiet sleep is a highly controlled state requiring complex feedback mechanisms. The increasing proportion of quiet sleep may be a significant measure of normal brain development.

Polygraphic Recording

The incidence of apneic spells during different sleep states, active sleep, quiet sleep, and undifferentiated sleep was determined in eight preterm infants of 30 to 35 weeks' conceptional age, by means of a polygraphic recording technique. They were free of perinatal and postnatal complications other than apnea. During their active or rapid eye movement (REM) sleep they showed significantly more apneic episodes which were also longer lasting and they were accompanied by bradycardia of a greater severity. The organization of the immature nervous system with a preponderance of inhibitory synaptic connections and the additional inhibition of spinal motoneurons during REM sleep are likely to be the cause of apneic spells in otherwise "normal" preterm infants.
