[Kleine-Levin syndrome].
The Kleine-Levin syndrome is generally considered to be a benign functional disorder of hypothalamic structures. Its onset is usually in adolescence. The most characteristic symptoms are periodic hypersomnia, excessive eating, hypersexuality, irritability and apathy. Associated features are depressive and schizophrenic symptoms. A biological relationship between the Kleine-Levin syndrome and endogenous psychoses is discussed.
