Abstract:The foot and the ankle are the usual localisations of diabetic neuroarthropathy. The knee is rarely affected. Diabetic neuropathy and microangiopathy also cause skin fragility causing trophic disorders and ulcers. Diabetic bullosa is rare. We report the case of a 19-year-old female patient with type 1 diabetes complicated by knee neuroarthropathy and diabetic bullosa.
