        Presented by:Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria / Coelho, Fernando Morgadinho Santos, Pradella-Hallinan, Márcia, Alves, Gabriela Rodrigues, Bittencourt, Lia Rita Azeredo and Tufik, Sérgio
        Summary points:This article focuses on two clinical cases of narcoleptic patients who experienced an absence of excessive sleepiness during treatment of other illnesses with 40 mg daily intake of prednisone. The report describes the clinical presentations of the two patients and their responses to prednisone. The authors discuss the aetiology of narcolepsy, the current treatment, review the literature on the effects of steroids on patients with this condition, and explain the possible reason for the patient's responses to prednisone.
