Nagarajan, Elanagan Digala, Lakshmi P Bollu, Pradeep C

Abstract


Painless legs and moving toes syndrome is a rare movement disorder. Various conditions like spinal cord trauma, lumbar radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, neuroleptic treatment, or traumatic lesions of the soft tissues of the foot can present with this disorder. In our case report, we aim to report a case of a young woman who developed painless legs and moving toes in the setting of chronic neuroleptic usage, which improved after the discontinuation of antipsychotics and treatment with clonazepam. We describe in detail her presentation and clinical examination, along with the review of the literature.
