Summary

Neurologic disorders often cause sleep disordered breathing due to complex interactions in respiratory control. This review covers the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Respiratory Physiology

Background:

  • Breathing control involves complex interactions between automatic and behavioral systems during wakefulness and sleep.
  • Neurologic disorders frequently manifest with sleep disordered breathing due to disruptions in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology.
  • Understanding these connections is crucial for managing patient health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of sleep disordered breathing in the context of neurologic disorders.
  • To discuss the pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
  • To highlight the link between neurological conditions and respiratory control during sleep.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on sleep disordered breathing and neurological diseases.
  • Introduction to the pathophysiology of respiratory control.
  • Discussion of clinical presentations and diagnostic approaches.

Main Results:

  • Sleep disordered breathing is a common comorbidity in various neurologic conditions.
  • Specific examples include stroke, epilepsy, dementia, spinal cord disease, polyneuropathies, and myopathies.
  • The interaction between automatic and behavioral breathing control is central to these issues.

Conclusions:

  • Sleep disordered breathing is a significant consequence of many neurologic disorders.
  • Comprehensive diagnosis and tailored treatment are essential for improving patient outcomes.
  • Further research into the neurophysiological underpinnings is warranted.
