摘要
Apart from the legs, restless legs syndrome (RLS) also affects the arms, head, neck, face, oral cavity, genital area, abdomen, intestines and bladder. RLS is also linked to several comorbid diseases, including headache disorders. Its association with dizziness has never been explored. We are reporting on two patients with RLS who also had a history of chronic dizziness. The treatment with levodopa or dopamine agonists completely alleviated both RLS and dizziness. We propose that RLS-like symptoms in the head may be experienced as dizziness and that dizziness may be part of the symptom complex of RLS. A large number of patients with chronic dizziness remain undiagnosed in clinical practice. We suggest exploring the history of RLS in patients presenting with chronic dizziness. Such patients may respond to levodopa or dopamine agonists. Because the response was seen in only two patients, a prospective placebo-controlled trial is needed to confirm these findings.
