  • Title: Kleine-Levin syndrome: history and brief review.
    Author: Pearce JM.
    Journal: Eur Neurol; 2008; 60(4):212-4. PubMed ID: 18667831.
    Abstract:
    Episodic hypersomnia, compulsive excessive eating and erotic behaviour, with schizophrenic-like mental symptoms are the hallmarks of the rare Kleine-Levin syndrome. This paper traces the origins of its description back to the 18th century and the changing concepts of its complex organic-psychogenic aetiology. The eventual, spontaneous disappearance of the syndrome is unexplained.
