Two patients are reported with Ekbom's syndrome of "restless legs" occurring in association with arborizing telangiectasia of the lower limbs. Sensory complaints have previously been reported in this skin condition but not described in detail. The co-existence of the two conditions is discussed in the context of previous explanations of the restless legs syndrome.
