1994). Its four cardinal symptoms are irresistible attacks of sleepiness, sleep pareses, hypnagogic or hypnapompic hallucinations which appear at the beginning or the end of sleep, and finally cataplexia. Only few patients present with all symptoms. Patients usually suffer most from excessive daytime sleepiness in the form of imperative sleep attacks, which can almost always be ascertained and which are obligatory for a positive diagnosis and from the cataplectic attacks, which occur in 60% to 100% of cases (Bassetti and Aldrich 2000).
It is not uncommon for patients with a Parkinsonian disease or syndrome to suffer from falls, especially during bradykinetic or akinetic phases, and also during motor fluctuations induced by dopamine where there are peak-dose dyskinesias and off-periods. Patients may show a pronounced postural instability and often fall backward. Patients with progressive supranuclear palsies (Remler and Daroff 1996) or multisystem atrophies also have an increased inclination to fall. In subcortical vascular encephalopathy (SVE, Binswanger syndrome, an extrapyramidal gait disorder), reoccurring falls are frequently an early symptom.

Wirrel at al. (1996) found that 16 (27%) out of 59 explored patients with typical absence seizure had already been injured once during a seizure. Falls from Special Forms Myoclonic Absence Epilepsy Rare but more often associated with falls; often in combination with typical absences and tonic-clonic seizures; treated with valproate (if necessary in combination with lamotrigine or ethosuximide) in up to 50% long-term seizure-freedom can be achieved Eyelid Myoclonia with Absences Rare; absences always in combination with rhythmic eyelid myoclonia, which also can occur independently of absences.
