Introduction: Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is a recently described<br />

hereditary myotonic dystrophy which is differentiated from myotonic<br />

dystrophy type 1 (DM1) by different genetic mutations. Sleep disordered<br />

breathing (SDB) has not been described in DM2 but is known to<br />

occur in DM1.<br />

Methods: We are presenting six patients (four women and two men ages<br />

51-63 years) with symmetric muscle weakness involving proximal more<br />

than distal muscles and thenar eminence percussion myotonia. Major<br />

sleep complaints included chronic insomnia, snoring, excessive daytime<br />

sleepiness and dream-enacting behavior (DEB) in one woman.<br />

Results: Genetic testing was consistent with a diagnosis of DM2. Electromyography<br />

showed myopathic findings and myotonia. Overnight<br />

polysomnography (PSG) disclosed obstructive sleep apnea in four patients<br />

and REM behavior disorder (RBD) in one woman (REM without<br />

atonia and excessive phasic muscle bursts associated with dream enacting<br />

behavior). Other PSG findings included absent REM sleep in one<br />

and alpha-REM-spindle mixture in another who also had paradoxical<br />

movements in the respiratory effort channels suggesting increased upper<br />

airway resistance.<br />

Conclusion: These sleep abnormalities (RBD in one and sleep disordered<br />

breathing in five patients) with DM2 are novel observations.<br />
