She reported attacks of hypersomnia and memory deficits from childhood. She experienced addiction to alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, also depression, and suicidal taught. The full medical work-up did not indicate any organic illness. Polysomnography and Multiple Sleep Latency Tests indicated narcolepsy. Finally, she was diagnosed with Klein-Levin syndrome. Conclusion: Kleine-Levin Syndrome is a challenging diagnosis. The medical history of clinical symptoms and exclusion of other diagnoses can lead to better diagnosis in patients with hypersomnolence.  UR - https://jfmh.mums.ac.ir/article_21016.html L1 - https://jfmh.mums.ac.ir/article_21016_58dccdaf44c117f3fd8272a1d5d2ff0c.pdf ER -
