Summary: Case report of an eleven year old patient who debuts with hypersomnolence and episodes of muscle tone loss. She repeatedly receives a diagnosis of epilepsy, with normal EEG studies and brain MRI. She received a 12 month course of valproic acid treatment. A polysomnogram and multiple sleep latency test were subsequently performed, confirming a diagnosis of narcolepsy and a mood disorder. She begins treatment with antidepressants and psychostimulants. At follow up, she shows an improvement of her cataplexy, hypersomnia and mood disorder.We analyze this case to consider this pathology in the differential diagnosis of children with daytime hypersomnolence and episodes of muscle tone loss, with conserved awareness, as well as to discuss management and associated comorbidities.
