LAUSR

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is characterized by the restlessness of the legs, with an urge to move, which is temporarily relieved by movement and worsened by periods of inactivity and rest. The symptoms are often noticed in the evening and while sleeping at night. Iron deficiency is often associated with RLS, and the treatment consists of replenishment of iron level. There are some data suggesting the role of antidepressants in the development of RLS among adults. However, there is only one report on the development of increased myoclonic leg movement among pediatric patients in the context of treatment with fluoxetine. We present a compelling case of RLS that developed in the context of treatment with sertraline in a child with Crohn’s disease. The patient assented to the proposed case report and the mother provided an inform consent.
