These symptoms are not explained by another sleep, medical, neurological, psychiatric disorders and substance or drug use. Case Presentation: Here we report a young female with personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder who had KLS. Her symptoms appeared in the past 1.5 years ago, while she had an episode of hypersomnia lasting for 5 days. She had 4 attacks; each one lasted up to 2-7 days. We found that overriding KLS symptoms on underlying main psychiatric or personality disorders complicates diagnosis. All neurological examinations during episode and further investigation were in normal range. Conclusion: We suggest that taking a complete history and mental state examination in the episode and inter episode phase helps to diagnosis both KLS and comorbid psychiatric disorders. }, URL = {http://caspjim.com/article-1-2576-en.html}, eprint = {http://caspjim.com/article-1-2576-en.pdf}, journal = {Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine}, doi = {10.22088/cjim.14.1.150}, year = {2023} }
