Abstract:
Klein-Levin syndrome is a chronic recurrent sleep disorder characterized by periodic excessive sleep, which can be accompanied by cognitive dysfunction, eating disorders, behavioral disorders, sensory disorders and emotional disorders, etc. During interval, individual′s daily functions are completely normal. Most of the KLS cases are sporadic. At present, only 17 familial cases of KLS have been reported abroad, while domestic reports in China are rare. We analyzed the detailed medical history, laboratory examinations, differential diagnosis, and the disease prevalence amongst family members of a patient with familial KLS, in order to provide reference for the follow-up study of familial cases of KLS.
