ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Parkinson's disease (PD) and restless legs syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disorder (RLS/WED) are relatively common diseases in the realm of movement disorders. The fact that both may, as expected, co-occur and typically share a similar remarkable response to dopaminergic treatment raised the interest in exploration of additional shared features that throughout the years cruised fields as diverse as phenomenology, epidemiology, genetics, pathology, and clinical studies. In this review, we describe and critically examine the evidence and biases of a conceivable overlap of these two disorders, trying to shed light onto two main sources of confusion: (1) are PD and RLS/WED reciprocal risk factors? and (2) what are the main mimics of RLS/WED in PD?


RESUMO A doença de Parkinson (DP) e a síndrome das pernas inquietas/doença de Willis-Ekbom (SPI/DWE) são doenças relativamente comuns no campo dos distúrbios do movimento. O fato de que ambas podem, como esperado, ocorrer de forma simultânea e usualmente apresentarem resposta favorável ao tratamento dopaminérgico levaram ao interesse em explorar características compartilhadas adicionais. Ao longo dos últimos anos, essa busca percorreu campos diversos como a fenomenologia, epidemiologia, genética, patologia e estudos clínicos. Nesta revisão, analisamos e discutimos criticamente as evidências e os vieses de sobreposição concebíveis dessas duas doenças, tentando esclarecer duas perguntas sem resposta precisa até o momento: (1) DP e SPI/DWE representam fatores de risco recíprocos? e (2) quais são os principais mimetizadores da SPI/DWE na DP?
