Summary
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) damage is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus. Клинические симптомы и течение заболевания при ДШРП и ДПКРП сходны, что позволяет объединить их в общую группу диабетических радикулоплексопатий. На фоне СД 2-го типа остро развилась шейно-плечевая радикулоплексопатия в сочетании с множественной мононевропатией нервов рук и ног.
