Review[Sleep disorders in Parkinson's disease: REM sleep behaviour disorder and restless legs syndrome].

Pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome is a poorly known condition and thus rarely included in our differential diagnoses. First described by Amarenco in 1987. ⋯ The main symptom is neuropathic pain in the perineal area. The diagnosis is based on the clinical history, physical examination and the confirming neurophysiologic tests.
