Introduction Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterised by the loss of REM sleep muscle atonia and the enactment of dreams. Acute RBD associated with alcohol withdrawal syndrome is known, but the studies are limited, particularly on its neurobiological underpinnings and management alongside the withdrawal state. This work attempts to address this using a case study and relevant literature review. Case Presentation A 40‐year‐old male with alcohol dependence (for 20 years) reported new‐onset terrifying nightmares and violent behaviours in his sleep precipitated by alcohol withdrawal states for the last 18 months. The polysomnographic finding of REM‐without‐atonia supported the diagnosis of RBD. He was treated with chlordiazepoxide 100 mg/day (gradually tapered and stopped) and thiamine supplements. Post‐discharge, he remained abstinent and symptom‐free during the three months of follow‐up. Discussion RBD related to alcohol withdrawal syndrome has been previously described in a few anecdotal reports. Sudden withdrawal from central nervous system suppressants like alcohol is hypothesised to cause a homeostatic imbalance in gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) pathways and ‘REM rebound’, resulting in the clinical and polysomnographic picture of RBD. Benzodiazepines have been found to be useful in both RBD and alcohol withdrawal. Conclusions Alcohol withdrawal syndrome may present with acute RBD, which can be treated with a short course of benzodiazepine. However, further studies are needed to explore the long‐term course of RBD in these patients.
