Abstract
Diabetes mellitus can cause distinctive neuropathies. Among the various diabetic neuropathies, diabetic radiculopathy is relatively uncommon. The usual clinical manifestations of diabetic radiculopathy are pain and paresthesia in the abdomen or flank. However, bulging of the abdomen caused by diabetic radiculopathy has very rarely been reported. We experienced a case with an unusual presentation of diabetic radiculopathy. For this patient, the prominent feature was abdominal bulging due to focal paresis of the abdominal muscles.(Korean J Med 73:S989-S993, 2007)
Key Words: Diabetes mellitus, Diabetic radiculopathy
