Complete bilateral relapsing ophthalmoplegia in a diabetic patient with a sensory-motor distal polyneuropathy. 1986

S Cammarata, and A Schenone, and G F Pasquali, and M Tabaton

The clinicopathological study of a case of relapsing complete bilateral external ophthalmoplegia associated with a sensory-motor polyneuropathy is presented. No other causes apart from diabetes mellitus were ascertained. The sural biopsy demonstrated an axonal as well as demyelinating neuropathy. The physiopathology of the rare cases of diabetic multiple bilateral cranial nerve palsies is discussed.

D003924	Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2	A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.

D003929	Diabetic Neuropathies	Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy.
