  • Title: [Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of sleep disorders in children].
    Author: Frölich J, Lehmkuhl G.
    Journal: Fortschr Neurol Psychiatr; 1998 Dec; 66(12):553-69. PubMed ID: 9922928.
    Abstract:
    Sleep disorders in children are very common and their impact on emotional and cognitive functions is considerable. Clinical work necessitates an interdisciplinary access to the subject because the scope of sleep medicine is related to various medical disciplines (e.g. paediatric neurology, pulmology and child psychiatry). Although many sleep problems are seen in both children and adults diagnoses, symptoms and pathogenetic factors are quite different in the two groups. In childhood especially parent-child interactional factors and developmental aspects of the sleep architecture and the sleep-wake cycle have to be taken into account leading to different diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. In this article we focus on important developmental aspects of childrens' sleep problems. Their relationship to neurologic, paediatric and psychiatric diseases is demonstrated and finally clear indications to diagnostic procedures, especially polysomnography, are given.
