“Sleeping Beauty Syndrome” and Psychosis as Precursory Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis: A Rare Case and Literature Review
We describe the case of a 22-year-old man who had previously been hospitalized because a single psychotic episode alongside symptoms of Kleine-Levin syndrome and a diagnosis of “acute and transient psychotic disorders.” Two years later, he was diagnosed with MS. A literature review of the possibility of a psychiatric episode overshadowing an MS diagnosis is then presented. Clinicians should always consider the possibility of an underlying organicity in a case of psychiatric presentation with atypical features, with special attention being given during the investigation process. This approach will lead to the early diag...

Self-representation in Kleine-Levin syndrome: a single case fMRI study
Neurocase. 2021 Sep 19:1-11. doi: 10.1080/13554794.2021.1974488. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTKleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of hypersomnia, compulsive hyperphagia, disinhibition, hypersexuality and self modifications. To investigate the Self, we used afunctional magnetic resonance imaging paradigm evaluating Self-reference processing (SRP) and Self-reference effect (SRE) in a17-year-old male adolescent at the end of an episode. We observed enhanced activations in right hemisphere and posterior areas- associated with physical Self representations- during the SRP condition, while during ...

Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a highly prevalent condition that is associated with significant morbidity. The causes of EDS are varied, and include inadequate sleep, sleep disordered breathing, circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, and central disorders of hypersomnolence (narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, and Kleine-Levin syndrome). Additionally, EDS could represent a symptom of an underlying medical or psychiatric disorder. Assessment of EDS includes a thorough sleep, medical, and psychiatric history, targeted clinical examination, and appropriate use of actigraphy to measure sleep duration and sleep-wake patt...

Sleep Disturbances Associated with Neurological Autoimmunity
AbstractAssociations between sleep disorders and neurological autoimmunity have been notably expanding recently. Potential immune-mediated etiopathogenesis has been proposed for various sleep disorders including narcolepsy, Kleine-Levin syndrome, and Morvan syndrome. Sleep manifestations are also common in various autoimmune neurological syndromes, but may be underestimated as overriding presenting (and potentially dangerous) neurological symptoms often require more urgent attention. Even so, sleep dysfunction has been described with various neural-specific antibody biomarkers, including IgLON5; leucine-rich, glioma-inacti...
