The diagnostic approach to sleep-related movements disorders is seldom discussed. We report a case of fatal familial insomnia who initially presented with persistent limb movements in sleep, which later progressed to a state of agrypnia excitata. Here, the evaluation of abnormal movements in sleep is discussed using a step-by-step diagnostic approach. Although no cure is available for fatal familial insomnia, prompt recognition of this condition is important to facilitate proper management, including the involvement of interdisciplinary neuropalliative care.
