ABSTRACT
The symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS) usually involve legs and can extend to other body parts. However, isolated body parts other than leg have rarely been involved. A 32-year-old woman had abnormal sensations of both forearms and face during night, which caused a difficulty falling in sleep. The symptoms were relieved by shaking and rubbing. She experienced a clear benefit from pramipexole, but a recurrence of restlessness was followed in both arms subsequent to pramipexole withdrawal. Finally, she had been prescribed a dose of 0.375 mg, which was well tolerated for 6 years. We report a case of nocturnal restless arms and face without leg involvement, which was like RLS in terms of clinical criteria except lesion site.
