Extreme sleep spindles have fast activity and high amplitude, unlike normal sleep spindles. We report a case series of six children with autism and related disorders who had extreme spindles as noted on the sleep electroencephalogram recording at our center. We examine the types of extreme spindles, describe the clinical profiles of the 6 children, and discuss similar clinical and neurophysiological conditions.
This series is part of a larger ongoing study with ethics approval (IEC.No.379/2021).
