Abstract

Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS) is a rare and frequently misdiagnosed disorder with typical onset at adolescence and a male dominance that is presented with hypersomnia, hyperphagia, dysinhibitated behavior and perceptive abnormalities. Even though increasing number of researches have been conducted to shed a light on its etiology, no clear underlying mechanism have yet been identified. Similar to relatively small information about etiology of the disorder, no specific treatment technique has been identified to successfully eliminate the phenomenon; however treatment options that target symptom relief and decline in frequency of episodes have been present. This case report aimed to present the clinical course of a 12 year old adolescent with KLS who was successfully treated with a combination of carbamazepine and short-acting methylphenidate that was used during episodes, along with discussion of relevant literature.

Özet

Kleine-Levin Sendromu (KLS) genellikle ergenlik döneminde başlayıp erkeklerde daha fazla görülen; aşırı uyku, aşırı yeme, disinhibe davranışlar, algısal değişiklikler şeklinde kendini gösteren; nadir görülen ve zor tanınıp sıklıkla başka psikiyatrik bozukluklarla karışabilen bir bozukluktur. Etiyolojisine yönelik birçok araştırma olsa da, bozukluğun düzeneği henüz tam aydınlatılamamıştır. Bozukluğu etkin biçimde ortadan kaldırmaya yönelik bir tedavi yöntemi günümüzde bulunamamış olsa da, semptomatik kontrol sağladığı ve atak sıklığını azaltmaya yardımcı olduğu bildirilen çeşitli tedavi seçenekleri vardır. Bu olgu sunumunda karbamazepin ve ataklar sırasında kullanılan kısa etkili metilfenidat ile başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edilen 12 yaşındaki bir kız ergenin izleme süreci literatür eşliğinde tartışılarak sunulmuştur.
