因患有罕见的克莱恩－李文综合症，21岁的英国女孩莉莉常常会昏睡不醒，最严重时曾经连睡两个月，成为现实版的“睡美人”。据莉莉的母亲介绍，她第一次发病是在2007年11月，全家出去滑冰后到一家饭店吃饭，莉莉没等餐点上桌就睡着了，之后一直睡了将近一个月，每天睡23个小时。之后的几年间，莉莉因为长睡不醒而错过了生日、学校考试、圣诞节、新年等很多人生重要日子。莉莉的母亲在2010年看到报纸上的一则报道后才知道女儿所患的病症为克莱恩－李文综合症，不过这一罕见病种目前没有任何治疗方法，只是有迹象显示部分患者可能会随着年龄增长而自愈。 A student has revealed how she has missed birthdays and university exams - because she has been fast asleep. Lily Clarke, 21, has a rare condition called Kleine-Levin syndrome, which makes her nod off for a month at a time. She wakes only to eat and drink before returning to slumber. Over three years she was seen by seven different consultants and underwent a battery of medical tests, but was only diagnosed when her mother read about a similar case in the Daily Mail in February 2010. 'As soon as I read the symptoms I recognised them,' Adele, 47 said. 'It was such a relief to finally find someone who knew what I was describing.' Ms Clarke said the condition first came on when the family, from Halsemere, Surrey, went ice skating in November, 2007. |
