Sleep disorders are a well known feature of extrapyramidal disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Huntington disease. In neuroacanthocytosis (NA), data on the sleep-wake cycle deregulation are limited. Here, we report polysomnographic results for five patients with NA. Although limited by the small number, our results clearly point to a significant impact of the disease on the sleep architecture. Future studies with larger cohort of patients with NA are required to highlight specific sleep disorders features in this disease.
