Abstract
We report the case of a 52-year-old female with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) 13. She presented with complaints of insomnia and had a history of restless legs syndrome. Her polysomnogram revealed that she had a significantly elevated periodic limb movement index, mild obstructive sleep apnea, and the absence of REM sleep. Sleep disorders have previously been described in patients with SCA 1, SCA 2, SCA 3, and SCA 6. To our knowledge, this is the first description of sleep disorders in a patient with SCA 13.Entities:
