A patient with Kleine-Levin syndrome, typical except that onset was at 39 years of age, died during a symptomatic period. Autopsy disclosed recent and old lesions in the medial thalamus involving intralaminar, medial, and some dorsal nuclei as well as the pulvinar. Despite massive microglial infiltration, there was minimal neuronal loss. The hypothalamus was not involved. The findings suggest a viral cause for Kleine-Levin syndrome.
一名患有克莱恩-莱文综合征的患者，除发病年龄为39岁外症状典型，在症状期死亡。尸检发现丘脑内侧有新旧病灶，累及板内核、内侧核和一些背侧核以及丘脑枕。尽管有大量小胶质细胞浸润，但神经元损失极少。下丘脑未受累。这些发现提示克莱恩-莱文综合征由病毒引起。
