Sumario: | A frequent complaint in medical settings is insomnia. Chronic insomnia is defined as the occurrence of sleep disturbance symptoms for a period of three months, three times per week, and in conjunction with at least one daytime symptom. In the case study, a young man with a documented seizure disorder underwent a thorough evaluation for chronic sleeplessness. Electroencephalograms, sleep investigations, and drug reviews were unsuccessful in determining the cause. Nonetheless, it was found that there was bilateral hippocampal malrotation. This link is distinct and hasn't been mentioned as a possible cause before. |
