  • Title: Sleep apnea in olivopontocerebellar degeneration: treatment with trazodone.
    Author: Salazar-Grueso EF, Rosenberg RS, Roos RP.
    Journal: Ann Neurol; 1988 Apr; 23(4):399-401. PubMed ID: 3164175.
    Abstract:
    A 37-year-old man with a 19-year history of progressive autosomal-dominant olivopontocerebellar degeneration developed excessive daytime sleepiness and paroxysmal episodes that clinically resembled an ictal or postictal state. Polysomnography showed sleep apnea. Long-term therapy with trazodone resulted in resolution of the paroxysmal episodes, disappearance of daytime sleepiness, and gradual improvement of sleep architecture over several months.
