RBD (REM behavior disorder) is a type of parasomnia in which voluntary muscle atonia is abolished during REM sleep and is associated with complex motor behavior and/or sleep-related vocalization while dreaming. RBD can also be due to other sleep disorders including OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) and this scenario is termed as pseudo-RBD. We are hereby presenting a case of pseudo-RBD in association with severe OSA which was resolved with optimal CPAP pressure.
