Hyperesthesia: an early manifestation of diabetic polyneuropathy.
Diabetic polyneuropathy is a specific form of peripheral nerve disorder, in which distal nerve axons degenerate insidiously under hyperglycemia of diabetes mellitus. Although all types of peripheral nerve fibers are involved, it is usually sensory dominant with eventual involvement of autonomic and motor nerve fibers. Its manifestation ranges from subclinical changes in nerve conduction to pain...
متن کاملSensorimotor polyneuropathy as an initial clinical manifestation of sarcoidosis.
A 45 year-old Japanese woman developed numbness and tingling of both hands and feet. Electrophysiological examination revealed sensorimotor polyneuropathy. She was diagnosed as suffering from sarcoidosis on the basis of the pathological findings from dermal biopsy. Steroid therapy effectively improved the clinical symptoms.

متن کاملMuscle fiber conduction abnormalities in early diabetic polyneuropathy.
OBJECTIVE Diabetic polyneuropathy (PNP) has been proposed to be a primary disorder of sensory nerves. At an early stage motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) and muscle strength remain preserved due to compensatory mechanisms (axonal sprouting, reinnervation). We evaluated the use of invasive muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) measurements as a method to detect muscle fiber denervation at...
متن کاملDiabetic Polyneuropathy: Definitive Diagnosis
DPN can present with a wide range of symptoms, including pain, unsteadiness, weakness, postural hypotension, gastroparesis, and impotence. It can lead to foot ulceration, Charcot foot, and amputation. It is desirable to periodically assess for the presence of neuropathy and also stratify neuropathy in patients in anticipation of these problems. It is important to be aware of the strengths and l...
