Supportive and Palliative Care Service, Strasbourg University Hospital, Strasbourg Translational Medicine Federation (FMTS), Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France.

Purpose: Sleep quality contributes to the improvement of quality of life in cancer patients. However, sleep disturbances, of variable and heterogeneous etiologies, are common and frequently overlooked in lung cancer patients. The present study undertakes a rapid review of available peer-reviewed literature on sleep quality in lung cancer patients, specifically non-small-cell lung cancer patients.

Background And Purpose: Stroke-related restless legs syndrome (sRLS) secondary to ischemic lesions is an emerging entity and an interesting condition, but there are limited available data to help us further understand its underlying pathways. In this study, we characterized sRLS clinically, neuroanatomically and functionally.

Methods: Consecutive patients hospitalized in the Stroke Unit of the University Hospital of Strasbourg were assessed clinically and electrophysiologically for sRLS characteristics.

a Department of Neurology, Sleep and Electrophysiology Clinic , University of Strasbourg, Strasbourg , France.

Context: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move the lower limbs often accompanied by unpleasant sensations in the legs, worsened at rest and in the evening. Symptoms are improved by movement. Its pathophysiology remains poorly understood.

Cardioinhibition can be the unique manifestation of epilepsy-like syncope.

Article Synopsis
  • A case study is presented of a pacemaker patient who experienced a complete atrioventricular block during a video-polysomnography, coinciding with an electrical seizure, despite showing no symptoms.
  • The patient had a history of recurrent syncope previously attributed to convulsive vasovagal syncope connected to heart issues.
  • This raises crucial awareness among physicians that cardiac-related syncope can mimic epilepsy, challenging the traditional understanding of epilepsy-like syncope.

Background: Given the discordant results of studies that have reported cases of RLS associated with brainstem stroke and the absence of RLS in large series describing the clinical spectrum of brainstem infarctions, we decided to assess RLS in all patients admitted for brainstem stroke.

Methods: All patients who were consecutively referred to the Strasbourg stroke unit for brainstem infarction were prospectively evaluated for RLS. The different parameters analyzed were the topography of the ischemic lesions (magnetic resonance imaging), the different symptoms (sensory, motor, cerebellar, cranial nerves and dysarthria) and the NIH stroke scale.

Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and the frequently associated periodic limb movements (PLM) are common neurological disorders whose pathophysiology remains elusive. We report on the case of a 40-year-old patient presenting with severe restlessness in the upper limbs, a poorly known variant of RLS.

Case Report: Video-polysomnography was performed because of the associated poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness evocative of PLM.
