Multifocal fiber loss in proximal sciatic nerve in symmetric distal diabetic neuropathy
K Sugimura, PJ Dyck - Journal of the neurological sciences, 1982 - Elsevier
The lumbosacral spinal cord, lumber roots, L5 spinal ganglion, L5 segmental nerve and
entire lengths of the sciatic, tibial, peroneal and sural nerves were taken at postmortem
examination from 2 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and a
predominantly sensory symmetric distal polyneuropathy and compared with 2 non-diabetic
control patients. Sections from proximal to middle levels of sciatic nerves of these patients
showed a remarkable variability in myelinated fiber (MF) density within and between …
