Compression injury of the sciatic nerve during a prolonged surgical procedure in a diabetic patient.

E W Massey, A B Pleet.   

Abstract

Patients with diabetes mellitus and an underlying mixed axonal and demyelinating polyneuropathy are particularly prone to compression neuropathies with consequent axonal degeneration and a poor prognosis for recovery. This hazard should be taken into account whenever a prolonged surgical procedure is contemplated. An illustrative case is presented.
