Diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (DLSRPN), also known as diabetic amyotrophy, is a rare disease of exclusion that is difficult to diagnose due to its non-specific clinical presentation of neuropathy, autonomic symptoms, and potential weight loss. Due to this, many differential diagnoses are raised before making a diagnosis of such an uncommon disease. However, once the diagnosis is made, the management of this disease can vary. Here, we would like to discuss the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of this disease, as well as present a rare case of diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy in a 50-year-old male.
糖尿病性腰骶神经根丛神经病（DLSRPN），也称为糖尿病性肌萎缩，是一种罕见的排除性疾病，因其神经病变、自主神经症状和潜在体重减轻的非特异性临床表现而难以诊断。因此，在诊断这种罕见疾病之前会进行许多鉴别诊断。然而，一旦确诊，这种疾病的治疗方法可能会有所不同。在此，我们将讨论该疾病的病因、病理生理学、诊断和治疗，并介绍一例50岁男性糖尿病性腰骶神经根丛神经病的罕见病例。
