DIABETIC MUSCLE INFARCTION: THE GREAT IMPERSONATOR

Devlina Roy, Arpan Mandal, Ritwik Ghosh

Abstract :

Till date, there is no clear consensus guideline on how to treat diabetic muscle infarction (DMI), a rare and under–recognized complication associated with poorly managed diabetes mellitus, till date. It presents as sudden onset muscular pain and swelling, especially in inferior extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with Short TI Inversion Recovery (STIR) sequences is investigation of choice. Non–steroidal anti–inflammatory drugs, rest and adequate control of blood sugar serve the purpose on most occasions. Invasive interventions for diagnostic or therapeutic purpose should be avoided and long term prognosis is malicious. We are hereby reporting a case of DMI from a rural based tertiary care setup which raised considerable diagnostic dilemma.
