A case of Kleine-Levin syndrome in a male, of 18 years' duration, present at the age of 34 years with a periodicity of attacks unimpaired, but of less intensity than in earlier years. He has responded reasonably to oral amphetamines for nearly a year as far as the attacks are concerned, but his considerable personality difficulties remain.
