AI Article Synopsis
- - The case study discusses a man with cluster headaches that mainly occur during REM sleep, specifically 90 to 120 minutes after falling asleep.
- - He also has severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and experiences significant drops in oxygen saturation (down to 81%) during REM sleep, with his OSA episodes being longer and more frequent in this phase.
- - Additionally, he exhibits periodic limb movements during sleep, which are more common in the first half of the sleep recordings, making this case notable for having cluster headaches along with OSA and periodic limb movements.
Article Abstract
We report the case of a man with episodic cluster headache who suffered from severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as well as periodic limb movements during sleep (PLMS). His attacks of headache occurred primarily during sleep being timely to REM sleep as 90 to 120 minutes interval. OSAs were more frequent and prolonged during REM sleep and oxygen saturation decreased to 81% during this sleep period. Periodic limb movements were also observed in our patient that were more frequent during the first half of the polysomnographic recordings. This case is one of the few reporting cases with CH who had both OSA and PLMS.
