  • Title: [Restless legs and sleep apnea syndrome--random coincidence or causal relation?].
    Author: Schönbrunn E, Riemann D, Hohagen F, Berger M.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 1990 May; 61(5):306-11. PubMed ID: 2359469.
    Abstract:
    We report three cases of restless-legs syndrome in which by polygraphic sleep recordings an accompanying sleep-apnea syndrome was detected. Etiopathological factors, in particular a dysfunction of the sleep regulating centers in the brain stem as a cause of both diseases are discussed. Our observations suggest that a polysomnographic recording including respiration parameters should be carried out in every patient suffering from restless-legs syndrome.
