Diabetic radiculoplexoneuropathy is a rare, but established complication of a focal neuropathy occurring in patients with diabetes type 2. Etiologically inflammatory changes of microvasculitis are assumed. It is independent on the stage of diabetes and often occurs usually in association of weight loss, not before the 4th or 5th decade. It presents with acute severe pain, and predominant motor involvement of the lumbar plexus often asymmetric and usually unilateral. Muscle atrophy occurs early. It is self limiting, but disability may persist. Always assign an additional code for the type of diabetes mellitus.
