Extractions: Home Kleine-Levin syndrome : a report of two cases ABSTRACT Two cases of Kleine-Levin Syndrome with illness duration of three and four months respectively are presented. Both cases in their adolescence presented with typical features of the syndrome-onset after high grade fever, episodic course and spontaneous remission of each episode and normalcy in between the episodes. Characteristic features of each episode in both cases were hypersomnia, eating excessively, disinhibited behaviour, affective features like irritability social withdrawal and lack of personal care and cognitive disturbance. The second case had sexual disinhibition which is another important feature seen in Kleine-Levin Syndrome. Both patients responded well to lithium therapy. Key words : Kleine-Levin syndrome From India very few cases of Kleine-Levin syndrome have been reported (Prabhakaran et al.,1970; Shukla et al.,1982; Sagar et al.,1990; Malhotra et al.,1997). Here we present two cases of Kleine-Levin syndrome which were referred to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic of G.B. Pant Hospital, New Delhi for management during last two years. Case 1 Case 2 Discussion Kleine-Levin syndrome is a peculiar disorder that primarily affects males but upto a quarter cases are now reported in females (Duffy et al.,1968). This disorder is conventionally considered as a neuro-psychiatric disordor and has been classified under the category of sleep disorder- recurrent hypersomnia or disorder of excessive somnolecence (Moore et al.,2000). The International Classification (ICD-10) has not included Kleine-Levin syndrome under the heading of behavioural syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors (F50-F59) or non-organic hypersomnia (WHO, 1992). It has been considered as a disorder of organic origin and has therefore, classified in chapter VI in Diseases of Nervous System (G47.8).

Symptoms, which may last for days to weeks, include excessive food intake, irritability, disorientation, lack of energy, and hypersensitivity to noise. Some patients may also experience hallucinations and an abnormally uninhibited sex drive. Affected persons are normal between episodes, although depression and amnesia may be noted temporarily after an attack. It may be weeks or more before symptoms reappear. Onset is typically around adolescence to the late teens. The disorder is 4 times more common in males than in females. Symptoms may be related to malfunction of the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that governs appetite and sleep.

Extractions: A 17-year-old man with the Kleine-Levin syndrome died unexpectedly of cardiopulmonary arrest during a period of autonomic instability that followed an episode of megaphagia. At autopsy, the only pertinent finding was mild depigmentation of the locus ceruleus and substantia nigra. Premortem CSF levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5- hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) levels were elevated. These findings indicate that many symptoms of the Kleine-Levin syndrome are a result of a neurotransmitter imbalance in the serotonergic pathway of the brainstem.

Extractions: 14. HYPERPHAGIA Hyperphagia is defined as excessive ingestion of food beyond that needed for basic energy requirements. Ingestion may occupy unusual amounts of time. Eating may be obligatory and disrupt normal activity. In contrast, bulimia usually occurs surreptitiously in defined episodes and is terminated by abdominal pain, guilt or sleepiness. Hyperphagia Associated with Sleep Disorders Sasson [117] has noted that in patients with sleep apnea who are somnolent during the day, there is obligatory eating to induce alertness, thus reducing daytime drowsiness. This hyperphagia has produced markedly increased body weights in such patients. Binge eating behavior and morning anorexia have been described by Stunkard [118] in the context of a "night eating" syndrome, suggesting a component of sleep disturbance. In the Kleine-Levin Syndrome [101] hyperphagia is associated with hypersomia. Recent evidence evaluating episode hormone secretion dorms sleep in Kleine-Levin Syndrome reveals an abnormality in the hypothalamic regulation of pituitary hormones [119].

Extractions: Zerrin PELÝN, Levent ÖZTÜRK, Hakan KAYNAK Background.- Kleine-Levin syndrome is characterized by recurring episodes of hypersomnia, mental disturbances and abnormal behaviour including hyperphagia and hypersexuality. The episodes start suddenly generally after a mild viral infection, mild head injury or sometimes after a psychological stress. They last few days to several weeks and end abruptly. Between the episodes, there is no sleep disturbance and patients are physically and mentally normal. Patients sleep as long as 18 to 20 hours of the day during the episode. Hyperphagia and/or hypersexuality. are in compulsive manner. Mental disturbances include, irritability, feeling of unreality or confusion. Recently, monosymptomatic and atypic forms of the syndrome were reported. In monosymptomatic form, hypersomnia occurs without hyperphagia and hypersexuality. Atypical Kleine-Levin Syndrome includes the forms where one of the symptom is replaced by an opposite one. Observation.-
