Abstract
Diabetic Myonecrosis is a rare, under-diagnosed complication of long-standing diabetes mellitus. The condition often mimics several other conditions which results in delay in diagnosis and treatment. It usually affects muscles of the lower limbs especially thighs, presenting with acute onset pain and swelling. It is often associated with long term diabetic complications like nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy and others. Although a rare manifestation, we must keep in mind the rising prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hence the expected rise in such uncommon complications in the population, making it essential for physicians to identify the condition promptly and implement efficient interventions. Herein, we discuss the prevalence, etiopathogenesis, clinical features, evaluation and the treatment aspect for DMN.
