Akathisia and restless legs syndrome (RLS) share some common clinical features and a common relationship with dopamine dysfunction. However, the underlying causes and appropriate treatments for akathisia and RLS are different. Herein we describe a case of RLS that was precipitated by a single dose of asenapine, which is an atypical antipsychotic, and dissect the features that support the contention that this was indeed a case of RLS and not akathisia.
静坐不能与不宁腿综合征（RLS）有一些共同的临床特征，且与多巴胺功能障碍存在共同关联。然而，静坐不能和RLS的潜在病因及恰当治疗方法有所不同。在此我们描述一例由单剂量阿立哌唑（一种非典型抗精神病药物）诱发的RLS病例，并剖析支持该病例确实为RLS而非静坐不能这一观点的特征。
