Extractions: Hypersomnia is fairly common, with nearly 5% of the population affected. The age groups most affected by hypersomnia are teenagers and young adults. As with most sleep disorders, hypersomnia is underreported because many people inaccurately believe that always feeling sleepy and taking naps are normal behavior. A distinction should be made between simple tiredness, fatigue, or depression, and hypersomnia. Sleep deprivation is a common state for most of the population - many people are tired or sluggish at certain periods during the day. The depressed person either will not want to get out of bed or will suffer from insomnia, even though he or she feels a nap will improve the depression. On the contrary, hypersomniacs are so sleepy during the day that they are compelled to sleep or "take a nap." These individuals fall asleep during movies, dinner, or even in conversation. Similarly, they may sleep ten hours or longer during one sleep cycle, rather than the average eight.

Extractions: LE SYNDROME DE KLEINE-LEVIN : Frontière entre la neurologie et la psychiatrie Rémi PICARD Assistant des Hôpitaux Introduction Le syndrome de Kleine-Levin appartient au groupe des hypersomnies intermittentes ou récurrentes (idiopathiques). Il sagit dune affection neurologique bénigne et rare, touchant principalement les adolescents. Le diagnostic est avant tout clinique se fondant sur une hypersomnie diurne avec un allongement du temps de sommeil nocturne associé à des troubles du comportement (1). Ce syndrome trouve sa place à côté de la maladie de Gélineau (narcolepsie-cataplexie) dans le groupe des hypersomnies pathologiques primaires (2). Nous aborderons successivement la physiologie et la pathologie du sommeil, puis la clinique, lévolution, les diagnostics différentiels, létiopathogénie et le traitement du syndrome de Kleine-Levin. Physiologie du sommeil Le sommeil est fondamental et impératif pour lhomme comme pour les animaux. Mais son besoin est variable dune personne à une autre. Habituellement il est entre 7 heures et 8 heures 30. Mais il existe également des « petits » dormeurs dont la durée du sommeil peut aller de 4 à 6 heures (10% des adultes) et des « gros » dormeurs (15% des adultes) qui dorment plus de 9 heures (1). Cependant lexamen électro-encéphalographique bouleversa la compréhension du sommeil.

Patients are male in development, but often they have gynecomastia and small testicles. Most patients have mild mental retardation, and many suffer psychosis.

We report on a patient with a 12-year history of recurrent acromegaly, treated with three transphenoidal operations, single field radiation therapy and bromocriptine/octreotide administration. During the course of follow- up she presented with self-inflicted anemia and Kleine-Levin-syndrome (hypersomnia, hyperphagia and hypersexuality). Furthermore she developed post-radiation necrosis within the right temporal lobe. Whether her neurologic and personality disorders result-at least partially-from the acromegaly or her temporal lobe necrosis remains unclear.
