In this article, we provide a picture of the so-called natural history of the Kline-Levin syndrome by means of a critical review and discussion of the scientific literature published so far about this topic. We focused special attention on the psychiatric correlates of this neuropsychiatric syndrome, addressing the diagnostic dilemmas raised from them. We also discuss the difficulties and show the profile that the knowledge about the state of the art in this area allows us to outline for the natural history of this syndrome.

ABSTRACT

Os autores descrevem a síndrome de Kleine-Levin e referem as dificuldades de seu diagnóstico. Apresentam um caso clínico de um rapaz de 16 anos de idade, que tiveram a ocasião de diagnosticar e de acompanhar e que, embora manifestando a trilogia clássica (hipersônia, hiperfagia e hipersexualidade), é ilustrativo dessas dificuldades sob várias formas clínicas. Discutem as causas e as conseqüências colocadas pelas dificuldades de diagnóstico, prestando uma atenção especial aos aspectos de diagnóstico diferencial.


The authors describe the Kline-Levin Syndrome (KLS) and point out the difficulties regarding its diagnosis. A clinical case of a 16-year-old boy diagnosed and followed by the authors is presented. Although having the classic trilogy (hypersomnolence; hyperphagia; hypersexuality), this is an illustrative case of such difficulties under several distinct clinical forms. Causes and consequences raised by diagnostic difficulties are discussed, with special attention to aspects concerning differential diagnosis.
