Abstract
We report the case of a 54-year-old male patient, who developed the sy mptoms of Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) at the age of fifty. Four years later Parkinsonian symptoms (PS) appeared. The possible relationship b etween both KLS and PS, e.g. regarding neuroendocrinological similarit ies, will be discussed to explain the subsequent onset of PS after the manifestation of KLS in this patient.
