Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The evolution from nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia (NPD)to sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE) is a complexand fascinating journey, marked by numerous twists anddiscoveries.1 This topic was recently reviewed by Fotedarand Luders,2 who erroneously concluded that SHE is notan identifiable focal epilepsy syndrome as they believedthat it is based on weak evidence. We wish to address er-rors in their analysis and offer a more balanced under-standing of this important form of epilepsy.
