Abstract

The article presents a research study which reports on sexual dysfunction in men with narcolepsy syndrome. The authors present several cases where narcoleptic people have sexual dysfunction. One case is of a 73-year-old man who had excessive daytime sleepiness since the age of 15 years. Another case is of a 55-year retired man who was presented with the complaint of erectile failure that had developed after years of normal functioning. According to the authors, erectile impotence has major effects on patients' marital and social life.
