[Kleine-Levin syndrome].

A case of a 15 years old boy with a Kleine-Levin syndrome is presented. Neurological examination and X-ray studies, including pneumoencephalography, were normal. Laboratory findings were also normal except for a flattened response to glucose load. The EEG was mildly abnormal, showing bifrontal discharges at 3 c/s, a finding already presented in other cases of Kleine-Levin syndrome. The differential diagnoses among the group of periodic hypersomnias is discussed.

[Epileptic psychoses].

A psychotic episode is described in a 21 year old male suffering since the age of 14 of generalized convulsions and tipical absences, scarecely controlled by antiepileptic drugs. The psychotic episode took place after a "Petit Mal Status", and was characterized by behaviour disorders, psycomotor excitement and delusions. During the episode the EEG became normal and epileptic seizures were not observed. Treatment with neuroleptics was followed by reduction of psychic disturbances.
