Abstract:
Objective:To report the clinical characteristics and diagnoses of diabetic demyelinating neuropathy.Methods:Five cases were systematically studied based on the clinical observations and data from aided examination.Results:All the five patients with diabetes mellitus were more than 50 years old.The clinical manifestations included predominantly motor symmetric weakness,proximal and distal,associated with areflexia and a relapsing or a chronic progressive course.The five cases were indistinguishable from idiopathic chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy(I-CIDP) in clinical picture and electrophysiology.They responded to glucocorticosteroid treatment,plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulin.Conclusion:Diabetic demyelinating polyneuropathy is one of several types of diabetic peripheral neuropathies.
