Abstract
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor sleep-related disorder which can be idiopathic or secondary. Secondary RLS is associated with a variety of conditions. Here we report a 16-year-old girl with RLS secondary to vitamin D deficiency (VDD) caused by chronic administration of carbamazepine. We also speculate on the possible mechanisms for the development of RLS in patient with VDD. Copyright 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Entities:
