Box11.9ThePeripheralNeurologicManifestationsofDiabetesMellitus
Asyouhavesurelynoticedbynow,diabetescanwreakhavocontheperipheralnervous
systeminanumberofways.Heretheyallare,inoneplace,tohelpyoukeepthemall
straight:
Distal symmetric predominantly sensory peripheral neuropathy, by far the most
common
Autonomic neuropathy can result in gastrointestinal symptoms, erectile dysfunction,
andorthostatichypotension.Also,andhere’sasmallpearl,patientscanlosethenormal
sinusarrhythmiaof the heart, that is, the normal variation in heart rate withinspiration
(faster) and expiration (slower); this can sometimes be the very first manifestation of
diabeticneuropathy
Polyradiculopathy—these include diabetic amyotrophy (just a fancy term for
lumbosacral radiculopathy, with prominent pain, muscle weakness, and atrophy in the
proximal lower extremity) and thoracic polyradiculopathy (which characteristically
presentswithabdominalpaininabandlikepatternaroundthetrunk)
Mononeuropathy—almost any nerve can be affected, but the most common are the
cranial nerves (usually the oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves, resulting in
diplopia and ophthalmoplegia) and the median nerve (resulting in carpal tunnel
syndrome)
Small fiber neuropathy—characterizedby distalburning pain anda normalneurologic

Neoplastic disease: Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis occurswhen cancer cellsspread
into the leptomeninges (the pia and arachnoid) and cerebrospinal fluid and are thus
disseminated throughout the neuraxis. This can present with severe headache
(remember,themeningesarepainsensitive),polyradiculopathies(duetoinvolvementof
thespinal nerve roots as theyexit the cord), and multiplecranialneuropathies (due to
malignant invasion of the cranial nerves within the subarachnoid space). For more
details,seeChapter16.
Cavernous sinus syndrome: The two cavernous sinuses sit on either side of the
pituitary gland and drain blood and CSF from the eye and superficial cortex into the
internal jugular vein. Each sinus contains an internal carotid artery, thirdorder

Younowknow:
1. Amyotrophiclateralsclerosis(ALS)involvesbothupperandlowermotorneuronsandcarriesagrimprognosis.
2. Therearevariouskindsofperipheralneuropathies,withvariedetiologiesandpresentations(whichyoucannowrecognize).
3. Lengthdependent sensorimotor neuropathies are most often caused by diabetes, but a long list of other potential causes must be
considered in the absence of hyperglycemia, including hereditary conditions (such as CharcotMarieTooth), and metabolic disorders
(suchasB12deficiency).
4. Theinflammatoryneuropathiespresentwithprofoundmotordeficits;alwaysthinkofGuillainBarresyndromeand itsmanyvariants,as

5. Mononeuropathies canoccur inmultiples(mononeuritis multiplex) or as singlenerve involvement(carpaltunnelsyndrome, Bell palsy,
andmeralgiaparestheticaprominentamongthem).
6. Diabetes can do almost anything to the peripheral nervous system;a stockingglove distribution sensory polyneuropathy is the most
commonmanifestationandcanoccurwithoutoverthyperglycemiaorothermanifestationsofdiabetes.
