摘要：

Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of hypersomnia and other symptoms and it is a really challenging for the physician, since its causes are not yet clear, and available treatment options are not having adequate support. Here, we are reporting a case with successful use of valproate in KLS and also reviewing the cases reported from India.
