Abstract:
A case of diabetic proximal motor neuropathy presented with left brachial paralysis is reported. In a 52-year-old male patient, the initial manifestation was the weakness of the predominantly proximal part of left upper limb, which progressed to the lower limb of the same side. There complications gave the opportunity to recognize and treat diabetes mellitus more promptly. The weakness recovered after one month with diabetic control but recurred mainly in the same lower limb and eventually achieved good functional result three months after.
