Lung Cancer as the Cause of Sleep-Related Rhythmic Movement Disorder

Abstract

Hasan Ergenc MD

Sleep-related Rhythmic Movement Disorder (SRMD) generally occurs during the neonatal period or early childhood. However, it has not yet been precisely defined despite various hypotheses with respect to its etiopathogenesis. These types of movements rarely continue during adulthood. SRMD, likely to be idiopathic, may develop due to secondary causes as well. In this study, we highlight adult-onset SRMD in a patient with the diagnosis of lung cancer.
