Summary A case of periodic hypersomnia associated with megaphagia is described in a 19-year-old Caucasian female. Physical investigations, which included an EEG, examination of spinal fluid and blood chemistry, gave normal results, and thus excluded many physical causes of hypersomnia and excessive food intake.
