During the first years after disease onset, the patient did not show any significant improvement despite treatment with a variety of stimulant and anti-cataplectic drugs. However, spontaneous remission of disease occurred after 15 years.Keywords: narcolepsy, cataplexy, excessive daytime sleepiness, orexin, hypocretin, remission |
