Secondary cases of narcolepsy or hypersomnia can occur in the context of psychiatric disorders (e.g., depression), central nervous system tumors (notably in the hypothalamus), neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s disease), inflammatory disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis or paraneoplastic syndromes), traumatic disorders (e.g., head trauma), vascular disorders (e.g., median thalamic stroke), and genetic disorders (e.g., myotonic dystrophy or Prader-Willi syndrome).
