ABSTRACT
Objective To improve the cliniciansˊ awareness of Kluver-bucy syndrome (KBS), we retrospectively analyzed 4 cases of KBS such as clinical manifestation, MRI feature, treatment and prognosis. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis on 4 cases of KBS including general clinical data, key clinical symptoms, findings from cerebrospinal fluid and Cranial MRI examination, treatment strategy and prognosis, and literature review. Results All four patients showed KBS in the course of primary disease. The clinical symptoms of KBS mainly presented as gentle, indiscriminate dietary behavior, hypersexuality, hypermetamorphosis, hyperorality and visual agnosia. MRI Showed primary disease-associated alterations in diverse brain regions including hippocampus, the temporal lobe, the insula, the frontal lobe, and the cingulate gyrus. Three cases achieved completely clinical remission after treatment with carbamazepine,fluoxetine and antipsychotic drugs. One patientˊs symptoms disappeared spontaneously and no recurrence of symptoms was observed in the following 6~12 months. Conclusion Bulimia is often the first symptom of KBS. Cranial MRI is the characteristic of the primary disease and has great diagnostic value. Treatment with antiepileptic and antipsychotics can achieve favorable prognosis.
