Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is a rare disorder (around 1.5 cases per million population), often presenting with triad of recurrent episodes of hypersomnia, hyperphagia, and hypersexuality. However, cases of atypical KLS with features opposite to that being commonly reported are often misdiagnosed as psychosis and present as a diagnostic challenge for the physicians, psychiatrists, and neurologists. We describe a case of atypical KLS which was misdiagnosed as unspecified nonorganic psychosis previously, highlighting the various points which would be helpful in identifying and diagnosing cases of atypical KLS in future.
克莱恩-莱文综合征(KLS)是一种罕见疾病(每百万人口中约有1.5例),常表现为发作性嗜睡、贪食和性欲亢进三联征。然而,具有与常见报道相反特征的非典型KLS病例常被误诊为精神病,给内科医生、精神科医生和神经科医生带来诊断挑战。我们描述了一例先前被误诊为未特定的非器质性精神病的非典型KLS病例,强调了有助于未来识别和诊断非典型KLS病例的各个要点。
