Abstract :
Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is an uncommon syndrome characterized by recurrent episodes of hypersomnia, behavioural and/or cognitive disturbances, abnormal eating and hypersexual behaviour. The diagnosis is clinical and requires a high index of suspicion and exclusion of other neurological conditions and sleep disorders. We report a case of 17 year old girl who had recurrent episodes of hypersomnia with derealisation, suicidal ideations and food fads; and a good response to lithium therapy.
