Catathrenia가 환자에게 어떠한 신체적 문제를 유발하며 장기간 지속되는 경우에는 어떠한 합병증을 유발하는지, 자 연경과는어떻게되는지등예후관련해서도아직까지구 체적으로확인된바는없다.이와같은많은의학적궁금증 들이 해소되기 위해서는 매우 드문 질환이긴 하지만 향후 지속적인문헌수집을통한질환분석과함께전향적연구 가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
Catathrenia is a rare sleep disease characterized by monotonous groaning sounds that appear to be related with prolonged expiration, commonly experienced during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Catathrenia is also known as nocturnal groan- ing or sleep-related groaning and is currently categorized as a sleep-related breathing disorder. We present a rare case of a 19-year-old male with nocturnal groaning during non-REM sleep. We suggest that if catathrenia is suspected, polysomnog- raphy should be utilized to differentiate it from various sleep disorders such as snoring, central sleep apnea, sleep talking, parasomnia, and sleep-related movement disorders.
