GARD: 19 Kleine Levin syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive sleep (hypersomnia) along with cognitive and behavioral changes. Affected individuals may sleep for up to 20 hours per day during an episode. These episodes usually last for a few days to a few weeks. An episode may start abruptly and is sometimes preceded by an upper-respiratory-type infection. During an episode, people with Kleine Levin syndrome can also display abnormal behavior, such as excessive food intake (hyperphagia), irritability, childishness, disorientation, hallucinations, and an abnormally uninhibited sex drive. Affected individuals are symptom-free between episodes. The time between episodes varies. Kleine Levin syndrome primarily affects adolescent males, but it also affects females and individuals of other ages. The underlying cause of this condition is unknown. Episodes tend to decrease with advancing age. There are no consistently effective therapies, although stimulants (modafinil, methylphenidate, amphetamine) and mood stabilizers (lithium) may be prescribed with varying results. MalaCards based summary: Kleine-Levin Hibernation Syndrome, also known as kleine-levin syndrome, is related to hypersomnia and idiopathic hypersomnia. An important gene associated with Kleine-Levin Hibernation Syndrome is TRANK1 (Tetratricopeptide Repeat And Ankyrin Repeat Containing 1). The drugs Radiopharmaceuticals and Technetium Tc 99m bicisate have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include thalamus, hypothalamus and brain, and related phenotypes are confusion and polyphagia NINDS: 52 Kleine-Levin syndrome is a rare disorder that primarily affects adolescent males (approximately 70 percent of those with Kleine-Levin syndrome are male). It is characterized by recurring but reversible periods of excessive sleep (up to 20 hours per day). Symptoms occur as "episodes," typically lasting a few days to a few weeks. Episode onset is often abrupt, and may be associated with flu-like symptoms. Excessive food intake, irritability, childishness, disorientation, hallucinations, and an abnormally uninhibited sex drive may be observed during episodes. Mood can be depressed as a consequence, but not a cause, of the disorder. Affected individuals are completely normal between episodes, although they may not be able to remember afterwards everything that happened during the episode. It may be weeks or more before symptoms reappear. Symptoms may be related to malfunction of the hypothalamus and thalamus, parts of the brain that govern appetite and sleep. OMIM®: 57 The Kleine-Levin hibernation syndrome, a rare disorder that occurs predominantly in males, is characterized by episodic attacks of aberrant behavior, hypersomnia, and increased feeding (megaphagia) and sex drives (Kleine, 1925; Levin, 1929). (148840) (Updated 08-Dec-2022) Orphanet: 58 Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is a rare neurological disorder of unknown origin characterised by relapsing-remitting episodes of hypersomnia in association with cognitive and behavioural disturbances. Disease Ontology: 11 A recurrent hypersomnia that is characterized by recurring periods of excessive amounts of sleep and altered behavior.
