Abstract
Restless Legs Syndrome is a sensory-motor neurological disorder that is underdiagnosed in childhood. The etiology is unclear, but genetic factors, dopaminergic dysfunction and low iron stores play an important role. The presentation in children is very unspecific and diagnosis can sometimes be difficult, it is important to get an early diagnose of this pathology because of its impact on the patient´s quality of life. We present the case of a 4 year old girl who consults for symptoms compatible with Restless Legs Syndrome associated with iron deficiency, who showed significant improvement after iron treatment until the symptoms disappeared completely.
