Overview
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- The earliest account of narcolepsy was described by Thomas Willis (1621-1675) in patients, "with a sleepy disposition who suddenly falls fast asleep."
- The term narcolepsy is derived by combining the Greek narke numbness, stupor and lepsis attack, to seize.
- The first-ever convincing descriptions of narcolepsy and cataplexy were reported by Westphal (1877) and Fisher (1878) in Germany.[1][2] Both descriptions observed a hereditary factor in narcolepsy; the mother of Westphal's patient and a sister of Fisher's patient had similar clinical features. They also reported the unique association of excitement and sleepiness triggering episodes of muscle weakness.
- French physician Jean-Baptiste-Édouard Gélineau (1880) described this condition in a wine merchant as neurosis or a functional condition.[3] He gave narcolepsy its name, which is the English form of the French word narcolepsie, and also recognized this disorder as a specific clinical entity.[4][5][6] Although Gélineau named this distinct clinical entity he did not differentiate episodes of muscle weakness and sleep attacks triggered by emotions as he proposed common physiology for these two distinct symptoms of narcolepsy.
- Cataplexy from the Greek kataplexis (fixation of the eyes), was first named by Loëwenfeld (1902) as he was the first to name brief episodes of muscle weakness triggered by emotions.[7]
- Kinnier Wilson (1928) first coined the term, "sleep paralysis."
- Large case series of narcolepsy with cataplexy was published by Addie (1926), Wilson (1927), and Daniels (1934). Review of narcolepsy-cataplexy by Daniels is considered by many as one of the most insightful clinical reviews published.
- The association of oculomotor paralysis and somnolence led to the pioneering work of Von Economo (1930) who first recognized the posterior hypothalamus as a critical region for the promotion of wakefulness and correctly proposed that a region in the posterior hypothalamus was lesioned in human narcolepsy. He specifically wrote: “it is very probable, though not proved, that the narcolepsy of Redlich, Westphal, and Gélineau has its primary cause in a yet unknown disease of that region”.
- In [year], [scientist] was the first to discover the association between [risk factor] and the development of [disease name].
- In [year], [gene] mutations were first implicated in the pathogenesis of [disease name].
