Abstract
Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterised by abnormal behaviours arising during REM sleep. Described for the first time in humans just over 30 years ago, RBD is a condition of increasing clinical and research interest. Two forms of RBD have been identified: idiopathic (primary) and symptomatic (secondary). Idiopathic RBD may be the initial form of presentation of a neurodegenerative disorder. The secondary form of RBD is associated with an established neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), multisystem atrophy (MSA) or narcolepsy. The diagnosis of RBD can often be straightforward, but does require confirmation by polysomnography to avoid misdiagnosis. The diagnosis is important, due to potential risks to the patient and their bedpartner, but also because of prognostic implications.
