Abstract

Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) findings in a case of Kleine-Levin syndrome are reported for the first time. MSLT data indicate sleepiness as severe as in narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea and the occurrence of four sleep onset rapid eye movement (REM) periods, with a greater REM propensity at 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. than at 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon. The replication of such findings might suggest that Kleine-Levin syndrome could be considered a form of periodic REM sleep disinhibition. Therefore, the traditional hypothesis of diencephalic dysfunction may require modification to include the role of more caudal brain stem structures specifically activated during REM sleep.
