Polysomnographic findings in Rett syndrome.

CONCLUSION: Girls with RS have poor sleep quality with alterations in slow wave and REM sleep stages. Obstructive respiratory events are uncommon in patients without adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Central respiratory events are rare. Longitudinal studies should help understanding the natural history of sleep disturbances in RS and their relationship with the neurocognitive decline.
