Hypersomnia Following Paramedian Thalamic Stroke:A Report of 12 Patients Ann Neurol 39:471-480, Bassetti,C.,et al, 1996 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Paramedial thalamic stroke(PTS)is a cause of organic hypersomnia,which is the absence of systematic sleep-wake studies has been attributed to disruption of ascending activating impulses and considered a"dearoused" state.We conclude that hypersomnia following PTS is accompanied by deficient arousal during the day and insufficient spindling and slow wave sleep production at night.These observations support the hypothesis of a dual role of the paramedial thalamus as"final common pathway"for both maintenance of wakefulness and promotion of NREM sleep.
