Overview

Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

  • Generally most scientists consider restless legs syndrome(RLS) as a central nervous system (CNS)-related disorder, but no specific lesion has been found to be associated with the syndrome.[1]

Genetics

Associated Conditions

Conditions which may be associated with RLS include:[5][6][7]

Microscopic Pathology

  • The exact neuroanatomical substrate imbalance which causes restless legs syndrome (RLS) is unknown.[8]
  • Chronic ischemic changes were found in some brain tissue samples of patients whit RLS.[8]
