BACKGROUND: Given the discordant results of studies that have reported cases of RLS associated with brainstem stroke and the absence of RLS in large series describing the clinical spectrum of brainstem infarctions, we decided to assess RLS in all patients admitted for brainstem stroke.
METHODS: All patients who were consecutively referred to the Strasbourg stroke unit for brainstem infarction were prospectively evaluated for RLS. The different parameters analyzed were the topography of the ischemic lesions (magnetic resonance imaging), the different symptoms (sensory, motor, cerebellar, cranial nerves and dysarthria) and the NIH stroke scale. Statistical analyses used the Bayesian paradigm.
RESULTS: Thirty patients have been included, and RLS was observed in three patients (10%). Two patients suffered from an exacerbation of symptoms anterior to the stroke, and the other patient a de novo, but transient, RLS. Patients with stroke-induced sensory symptoms have a higher risk to develop brainstem stroke-related RLS as compared to patients without sensory symptoms.
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that RLS should be systematically screened in patients affected with brainstem stroke, especially in the case of stroke-induced sensory symptoms. Clinicians should be aware of this association, especially as efficient treatments are available and allow improving the management of patients affected with stroke.
