A member asked:
I wonder if there has been any case of fatal familia insomnia or sporadic fatal insomnia in sweden?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Very rare: This disorder is extremely rare. The inheritable form apparently began with an italian family in the 1700's. Pubmed contains no reported cases of the sporadic or familial form in sweden.
