Not Only Limbs in Atypical Restless Legs Syndrome

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) typically affects the limbs, but the involvement of other body parts has also been reported. In this assay, we critically review all literature reports of atypical RLS cases with unusual localizations. Applying the updated diagnostic criteria of the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG), which also consider symptoms localized outside of the lower limbs, a few of these atypical cases reported in the previous literature resulted in a definitive diagnosis of RLS.
