Medical: Pharmaceuticals
I've seen that "accès de sommeil" has been translated in our glossary as "narcolepsy". I'm wondering if there isn't another term appropriate here, as it is one of a list of side effects:
"Le traitement par le XXXX est à l'origine de somnolences et d'accès de sommeil d'apparition soudaine, en particulier chez les patients atteints d'une malade de Parkinson. Ces accès de sommeil d'apparition soudaine pendant les activités quotidiennes, et qui surviennent sans que le patient en ait conscience ou sans signes d'alerte préalables, restent exceptionnels.
