AB  - Sleep paralysis (SP) is a common parasomnia. The diagnostic criteria for SP, as 
      reported in the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, are essentially 
      clinical, as electroencephalography (EEG)-polysomnography (PSG) is not mandatory. 
      We describe a subject whose sleep-related events fulfilled the diagnostic 
      criteria for SP, even though her visual hallucinations were elementary, 
      repetitive and stereotyped, thus differing from those usually reported by 
      patients with SP. Video/EEG-PSG documented the focal epileptic nature of the 
      SP-like episodes.
