Sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder is characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, rhythmic movements of large muscle groups, primarily occurring at the onset of sleep and during sleep. Common in infancy and early childhood, its persistence into adolescence or adulthood is rare. Combined type is rare. This article reviews and analyzes the diagnosis and treatment of a case with combined type sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder persisting for 15 years aimed at enhancing the level of diagnosis and treatment of the disorder, and reducing misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
