  • Title: Persistent deficits of visual recall in Kleine-Levin syndrome.
    Author: Körtner K, Hansen ML, Danker-Hopfe H, Neuhaus AH, Jockers-Scherübl MC.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2011 Mar; 18(3):439-40. PubMed ID: 21236684.
    Abstract:
    Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is commonly described as a self-limiting disorder exhibiting episodes of hypersomnia and psychiatric symptoms but without any enduring disabilities. Recently, some authors have reported persistent or even progressive memory deficits associated with the disorder. Nevertheless, literature about cognitive disturbances in KLS is rare. Our report describes a patient with deficits of visual and verbal recall after remission of an episode, as well as selective deficits of visual recall 6 months later. Neuropsychological testing is necessary in all patients with KLS to further characterize the profile and impact of associated cognitive deficits.
