Abstract

The authors identified patients with the coexistence of narcolepsy and another CNS disorder seen between 1975 and 1998 at their institution. Eighteen patients were identified, nine with narcolepsy commencing within 1 year before or after the other disorder. Seven patients (39%) had hypothalamic-pituitary syndromes. When they occur together, narcolepsy and other CNS disorders frequently emerge at about the same time, suggesting a causative relationship. Hypothalamic-pituitary pathology was the most common association.
