AIMS: The purpose of this paper is to report the case of a patient with Kluver-Bucy syndrome caused by adult-type ceroid lipofuscinosis (Kufs' disease) and to review the literature dealing with the causes of this syndrome.
CASE REPORT: A 38-year-old male examined because of behavioural changes and cognitive impairment. Brain biopsy findings were characteristic of adult-type ceroid lipofuscinosis. This patient fulfilled the criteria of Kufs' disease, since he had mixed clinical features belonging to both type A (neuropsychiatric disorders) and B (aphasia-apraxia-agnosia syndrome) of the disease. The initial symptoms included several clinical features of Klüver-Bucy syndrome (probable visual agnosia, apathy, increased sexual activity, lack of sexual inhibition, hypermetamorphopsia, increased oral behaviour and changes in dietary habits).
CONCLUSIONS: Adult-type ceroid lipofuscinosis is an infrequent clinical entity that is difficult to diagnose owing to the absence of peripheral biological markers and the need to confirm such a diagnosis by means of a histopathological study.
