Abstract

Parasomnias are undesirable physical reactions
occurring during sleep transition, during arousal from sleep, or within the
sleep period. Parasomnias are divided into sub- groups according to the stage
of sleep; I) parasomnias usually associated with Non-Rapid eye movement sleep, II) parasomnias
usually associated with Rapid eye movement sleep, III) other
parasomnias. Parasomnias may significantly affect the patient and the relatives
of the patient’s quality of life. The proper treatment is suggested when quality
of life is affected. Therefore, proper diagnosis and differantial diagnosis
from other paroksismal sleep behavior disorder should be done when these attacks
detected.

 Parasomniler uyku geçişlerinde, uykudan
uyanma ya da uyku sırasında ortaya çıkan istenilmeyen fiziksel reaksiyonlardır. Parasomniler
uyku evrelerine göre; I) Non-rapid eye movement uykusu ile ilişkili
parasomniler, II) Rapid eye movement uykusu ile ilişkili
parasomniler ve III) Diğer parasomniler olarak sınıflandırılırlar. Hasta ve hasta yakınının yaşam kalitesini
etkilediği dönemde mutlaka tedavi önerilmektedir. Bu nedenle uykunun paroksismal
diğer olaylarından ayırt edilmesi ve doğru tanı konulması gerekmektedir.
