Although anatomical and physiological considerations suggest a possible causality between subcortical brain areas lesions and emergence of sleep-related movement disorders, few data are available regarding the association between restless legs syndrome/periodic limb movements (RLS/PLM) and lacunar stroke [1]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and the lesion topography of new-onset RLS/PLM in patients with lacunar stroke. In addition, we tried to add some details about the characterization of sleep-related movement disorders in relation to the site and side of the ischemic lesion.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and the lesion topography of new-onset RLS/PLM in patients with lacunar stroke. In addition, we tried to add some details about the characterization of sleep-related movement disorders in relation to the site and side of the ischemic lesion.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
