Abstract

KLS, also called recurrent hypersomnia, is a sleep disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of hypersomnia associated with cognitive and behavioral disturbances such as confusion, derealisation, apathy, compulsive eating, and hypersexuality. In this article, we aim to present a case with a history of traumatic brain injury who had been suffering from memory disturbance and came in an unresponsive state. He met several therapists and hospitalized several times. Through reviewing his history, we point out some diagnosis and discuss the probable effect of stressful life events on such patients with impaired memory system. The patient has received these medications during hospitalization in neurology ward pantoprazole 40mg po Qd, amantadine 100mg po BID, modafinil 100mg po TID in addition to diazepam and heparin in bedside. In this case, combination therapy and using hypnosis with family support and cooperation in several medical visits seems to be effective for early treatment.
