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