## Abstract Substantia nigra (SN) hypoechogenicity assessed by transcranial B‐mode sonography (TCS) is typical for idiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS). Here, we investigated whether SN hypoechogenicity may differentiate between polyneuropathy (PNP) patients with and without RLS. Seventy‐five pa
