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 first-ever convincing descriptions of narcolepsy and cataplexy were reported by Westphal (1877) and Fisher (1878) in Germany. They also observed a hereditary factor; the mother of Westphal's patient and a sister of Fisher's patient had similar 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. 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.[1]
