A clinical follow-up study of 12 patients with diabetic amyotrophy is reported. Re-examination after an interval indicated that improvement had occurred in all but one instance, and had been maintained over an average follow-up period of four and a half years. Improvement in the neurological syndrome appeared to follow improvement in diabetic control or institution of treatment in those whose diabetes had not previously been diagnosed.Seven patients made a good functional recovery, three no longer having any muscular weakness. Five showed significant residual disability.
本文报道了对12例糖尿病性肌萎缩患者的临床随访研究。一段时间后的复查表明,除1例患者外,其他所有患者均有改善,且在平均4.5年的随访期内持续保持。神经综合征的改善似乎随着糖尿病控制的改善或在那些先前未被诊断出糖尿病的患者中开始治疗而出现。7例患者功能恢复良好,其中3例不再有任何肌肉无力症状。5例仍有明显的残余残疾。
