Abstract

The patient is a 33-year-old Iranian woman without a significant past medical history with the full range of narcolepsy symptoms that started within two weeks after her recovery from COVID-19. Sleep studies revealed increased sleep latency and three sleep-onset rapid eye movement events, compatible with a narcolepsy-cataplexy diagnosis.
