Diabetic Myonecrosis, A rare complication of a common disease: A case report and Review of literature
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus has many complications. Diabetic Myonecrosis ,though rare, is one of them. The usual presentation is severe pain and swelling of the thigh muscles, particularly Quadriceps. More common in females than males, usually seen in long standing diabetes complicated with retinopathy, neuropathy, and /or nephropathy. Muscle biopsy is the most specific investigation but MRI is the investigation of choice. We report a case of severe pain and swelling of left thigh which was suspected to be DVT or cellulitis or abscess or lymphadenopathy. Investigated negated all the above possibilities, and finally diagnosis of diabetic Myonecrosis was made on the basis of clinical , laboratorial and characteristic MRI findings.
