  • Title: [Polysomnography in the neurology patient].
    Author: Iriarte J, Urrestarazu E.
    Journal: Neurologia; 2008 Mar; 23(2):98-109. PubMed ID: 18322828.
    Abstract:
    The polysomnography is a standardized diagnostic tool in neurology. It is used to study sleep structure and can diagnose many sleep disorders. Since this test is not always adequately available as it is a complex test that requires a qualified team and staff, its most necessary and urgent indications should be stressed in order to thus avoid the waiting lists. In this paper we review the primary indications of the nocturnal sleep studies in the different groups of neurological disorders. We review the bibliography, selecting the papers that help to specify when the polysomnographic study would be indicated and those situations in which it may be indispensable or urgent.
