“…A significant NCV reduction was observed only in the FAST group (2 bouts: 78%, 3 bouts: 78%, 4 bouts: 42%). NCV is a primary indicator of chronic and traumatic nerve damage . Peripheral nerve tissue is easily damaged by direct/indirect stresses through continuous compressions and entrapment, such as that seen in patients with sports injuries and disease .…”

“…In the presence of distal symmetric polyneuropathy, sural nerve action potential is not seen frequently, however motor action potential amplitudes of peroneal, and tibial components decrease. During femoral nerve conduction studies asymmetric amplitudes, and on needle EMGs of paraspinal muscles fibrillation, and positive sharp waves can be seen [10, 11]. …”

Diabetic amyotrophy is a rare condition in which patients develop severe aching or burning pain in hips and thighs. This is followed by weakness and wasting of the muscles of proximal lower extremities, which often occur asymmetrically. Diabetic neuropathic cachexia is a different type of diabetic neuropathies. It leads to intense pain in affected extremities accompained by anorexia, weight loss as well as mood and sleep disturbances. A 42-year-old type 2 diabetic woman with a known poor glycemic control presented with loss of appetite, and weight (approximately 15 kg), severe burning sensation over her lower limbs, depression and sleep disturbances for 3 months. Symmetric wasting was noted in her proximal lower extremities with bilateral muscle weakness. Her patella and Achilles reflexes were absent with decrease in her upper extremity reflexes. We evaluated the patient as diabetic amyotrophy associated with diabetic neuropathic cachexia based on clinical signs, electrophysiological and radiological examination findings. Physicians should take into consideration these rare complications of diabetes mellitus showing characteristics different from other types of neuropathies.

“…Electrophysiological findings may suggest axonal degeneration and secondary demyelination 13. EMG of the affected muscles may show acute denervation with positive sharp waves and fibrillation potentials, especially in the thoracic and lumbar paraspinal muscles 5.…”

An unusual presentation of diabetic amyotrophy: myoclonus

et al. 2013

Diabetic amyotrophy is a distinctive form of diabetic neuropathy. It is characterised by a weakness and wasting of proximal muscles of the lower limbs with associated pain. We report a case of an elderly patient with unusual presentation of diabetic amyotrophy. He presented with myoclonic jerks and recurrent falls. Examination findings and electrophysiological studies were consistent with a diagnosis of diabetic amyotrophy. He responded well to steroids with marked improvement in strength of the lower limb muscles and complete resolution of myoclonic jerks. Diabetic amyotrophy presenting as myoclonic jerks has been rarely reported before.
