The "respiratory REM sleep without atonia benefit" on coexisting REM sleep behavior disorder - obstructive sleep apnea.

Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by dream-enactment behaviors that emerge during a loss of REM sleep atonia. In patients with RBD, obstructive sleep apneas syndrome (OSAS) frequently occurs as a comorbid entity. It has been reported that the presence of muscle tone during REM sleep (REM sleep without atonia-RSWA) could play a protective role in patients with OSAS RBD.

Its surgical confirmation requires careful dissection of the common bile duct and intraoperative cholangiography or ultrasonography to be performed, to exclude the possibility of an ectopic gallbladder.
