South African Journal of Psychiatry, 20(2):60-62, doi:10.7196/SAJP.494.The original publication is available at http://www.sajp.org.zaKleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is a rare disorder characterised by hypersomnia, hyperphagia and behavioural disturbances. It typically
occurs in adolescent men and may mimic a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions. Here we report what appears to be the first published
case of KLS in South Africa and trace the clinical course, investigations and diagnostic difficulties encountered in the management of this
condition. An overview of the literature guiding the diagnosis, differentials and treatment is discussed.http://www.sajp.org.za/index.php/sajp/article/view/494Publisher's versio
