Demir Eksikliğinin Gözden Kaçan Klinik Prezantasyonu; Huzursuz Bacak Sendromu

Öz

    Huzursuz bacak sendromu (HBS) bacaklarda hareket etme dürtüsü ile kendini gösteren, şikayetlerin istirahatte arttığı, bacaklarda rahatsızlık veren duyumlar ile karakterize uyku ilişkili bir hastalık olarak tanımlanmış nörolojik duyusal-motor bir bozukluktur. Hastalığın primer (idiyopatik) HBS ve sekonder (semptomatik) HBS olmak üzere iki formu vardır. İdiopatik form genetik ve kaynağı bilinmeyen etyolojik nedenleri içerirken, sekonder formun çok çeşitli sebepleri olabilir. Sekonder HBS’nin etiyolojik sebepleri değerlendirildiğinde %43’ ünün anemi ile birlikte veya anemi olmaksızın sistemik demir eksikliği ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu yazıda; son 2 yılda 8 kez tam kan bağışında bulunan ve ferritin düşüklüğüne atfedilen sekonder HBS‘ lu bir olgumuzu sunduk.

Overlooked Clinical Presentation of Iron Deficiency; Restless Leg Syndrome

Abstract

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sleep related neurological sensory-motor disorder which is characterized by uncomfortable and unpleasant sensations in the legs, worsening of complaints during periods of rest that manifests as an irresistible urge to move the body to relieve the uncomfortable sensations. The RLS includes two groups in general: primary (idiopathic) RLS and secondary RLS. While the idiopathic group includes unknown genetics and etiological causes, the secondary group may have a variety of etiological causes. When the etiological causes of secondary RLS were evaluated, it was found that 43% were associated with systemic iron deficiency with or without anemia. In this text; we presented a secondary RLS attributed to low ferritin level in a case who had donated whole blood 8 times in the last 2 years.
