    Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS) is a rare and frequently misdiagnosed disorder with typical onset at adolescence and a male dominance that is presented with hypersomnia, hyperphagia, dysinhibitated behavior and perceptive abnormalities. Even though increasing number of researches have been conducted to shed a light on its etiology, no clear underlying mechanism have yet been identified. Similar to relatively small information about etiology of the disorder, no specific treatment technique has been identified to successfully eliminate the phenomenon; however treatment options that target symptom relief and decline in frequency of episodes have been present. This case report aimed to present the clinical course of a 12 year old adolescent with KLS who was successfully treated with a combination of carbamazepine and short-acting methylphenidate that was used during episodes, along with discussion of relevant literature. © 2018, Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine.

    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Batum M.; Kısabay Ak A.; Çetin G.; Çelebi H.B.G.; Çam S.; Mavioğlu H.
    Introduction: Episodic ataxia is a clinical condition characterized by episodes of balance and coordination problems that last minutes to hours. It can be inherited or sporadic, and it can be seen sporadically in epilepsy, basilar migraine, multiple sclerosis, vertebrobasilar ischaemia, and labyrinth diseases. Methods: In this article, we present a case of a patient who had a coincidental occurrence of episodic ataxia type 2 (EA2) and multiple sclerosis (MS) Results: The patient who had a previously unidentified heterozygous mutation in the calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha 1 A gene (CACNA1A). Conclusion: There is no publication in the literature reporting the co-occurrence of MS and EA2. This combination may be coincidental in this patient, or it may be a relationship that has not yet been scientifically revealed. © 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
