Can insomnia be fatal? An Australian case of fatal familial insomnia
© 2022 Royal Australasian College of Physicians..
Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a rare prion disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. Currently, there is only one published case study of FFI in Australia. FFI is universally fatal, with the disease duration ranging from 8 to 72 months. Clinically, it manifests with disordered sleep-wake cycle, dysautonomia, motor disturbances and neuropsychiatric disorders. We describe a case of FFI detailing the investigative process, including the importance of sleep assessment and polysomnography in obtaining a diagnosis.
