  • Title: What respiratory physicians should know about narcolepsy and other hypersomnias.
    Author: Klaus S, Carolan A, O'Rourke D, Kennedy B.
    Journal: Breathe (Sheff); 2022 Sep; 18(3):220157. PubMed ID: 36865656.
    Abstract:
    Narcolepsy and related central disorders of hypersomnolence may present to the sleep clinic with excessive daytime sleepiness. A strong clinical suspicion and awareness of the diagnostic clues, such as cataplexy, are essential to avoid unnecessary diagnostic delay. This review provides an overview of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic criteria and management of narcolepsy and related disorders, including idiopathic hypersomnia, Kleine-Levin syndrome (recurrent episodic hypersomnia) and secondary central disorders of hypersomnolence.
