Rinsho Shinkeigaku. She reported no a family history of RLS. All levels were in normal range. And the results of her other blood chemistry tests including thyroid function were unremarkable. A nerve conduction study did not show any evidence of neuropathy. Initially, 0. The symptoms were relieved again when the medication was re-administered. Her nocturnal symptom fluctuated with multiple instances of decrease and increase in pramipexole administration.
Her symptoms have been well responded to pramipexole. Discussion Our patient met the major criteria of RLS except the involved body part and responded to treatment with a dopamine agonist. Symptoms did not extend to other body parts beyond the arms and face. Involvement of other body parts along with the legs in RLS is relatively frequent [ 2 ]. Although the most frequently involved areas are the arms, abnormal sensation could accompany anywhere in the body including the trunk, hips, shoulder, neck, genitals, and face [ 2 ].
In addition, most of them usually occurred in patients with severe RLS or late course of the disease. However, isolated body parts other than the leg like our case have rarely been involved [ 3 , 4 ]. A previous report indicated that the nocturnal unpleasant sensations were first localized to the arms and responded to a dopamine agonist, and then extended to the legs over a few years [ 3 ].
In contrast, in our patient, the sensations did not extend to the leg for 6 years. Massage, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and even a visit to the chiropractor didn't fix his condition. In March , the patient visited Moser reporting his symptoms of pressing, stabbing, and deep pain. His back pain eased with treatment, but a follow-up appointment in presented reports of new symptoms — severe pain and a sense of restlessness in both hands and forearms that had steadily worsened over the previous two years.
Thinking it could be a case of 'snapping' or ' trigger finger ' and perhaps some arthritis, an orthopedic surgeon prescribed surgery and a course of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. Unfortunately for the patient, the discomfort remained. The symptoms were uncannily like restless leg syndrome.
