Abstract

There is scarce literature on functional neuroimaging data in Kleine-Levin syndrome. The current case report presents the electrical and metabolic status of cortical activity utilizing functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) before and after treatment of symptomatic phase of illness with modafinil.

Keywords: EEG; Kleine–Levin; NIRS; fNIRS; modafinil; prefrontal.
