A Case of Narcolepsy with Oneiric Manifestations

Abstract

The observation of cases of narcolepsy does not to-day constitute a rarity worthy of notice. There are references in the literature to some hundreds of these cases, and we ourselves possess several observations which do not differ from the type described in monographs and text-books. However, in recent months there has come to our notice a case which presents rather peculiar characteristics. The truly remarkable amount of detail in the clinical picture, the rapid evolution of the disease, its combination with a syndrome of very marked oneiric manifestations at night, make the case in question worthy of note.
