Review and videotape recognition of idiopathic restless legs syndrome.
The motor phenomena associated with idiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS) are infrequently seen in the physician's office because they are present only after prolonged sitting or lying and usually at night. These motor phenomena are captured on videotape in four unrelated patients with idiopathic RLS. The clinical features of idiopathic RLS are reviewed in detail, and therapeutic advances in its treatment are summarized.
