  • Title: Neuropsychological sequelae in Kleine-Levin syndrome: case report.
    Author: Fontenelle L, Mendlowicz MV, Gillin JC, Mattos P, Versiani M.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 2000 Jun; 58(2B):531-4. PubMed ID: 10920418.
    Abstract:
    Kleine-Levin syndrome is characterized by periodic hypersomnia, hyperphagia, sexual disinhibitions and behavioral disturbances. The prognosis is generally benign, with normal cognitive and social functions after the episodes. We describe a typical case of Kleine-Levin syndrome associated with apparent academic decline, neuropsychological sequelae and personality alterations after the second episode of the illness. Further research in the natural history of Kleine-Levin syndrome is needed, for example, to determine whether early intervention would improve long-term prognosis.
