pubmed:abstractText
A 20 years old patient is described, who presented two episodes of day-time hypersomnia, orthostatic hypotension and psychotic behavior. Compulsive masturbation and abnormalities of the eating habits were also present. Both episodes cleared up spontaneously in about one week. From the clinical point of view of Kleine-Levin syndrome, was suspected. However a CSF examination showed IgG oligoclonal bands and an increased IgG index. A NMR showed multiple area of increased signal intensity, suggestive of a demyelinating disease. On these elements a final diagnosis of MS was made, in spite of a normal neurological examination. This case was compared to other cases of MS in which the disease begins with acute remitting psychiatric symptoms. However cases of MS with complex episodes as observed in our patient were not found in the Literature.
