Abstract :
Background: Diabetes Mellitus is commonly associated with neuropathic complications. Nerve conduction studies can be helpful in detecting sub clinical type of diabetic neuropathies. Aims and Objectives: To see the effect of diabetes on MNCV in type 1 diabetes mellitus children. Methods: This observational study was done on thirty children with type 1 diabetes mellitus for minimum two years. Motor nerve conduction study (MNCV) of peripheral nerves was performed. The onset latencies, amplitude of compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and nerve conduction velocity were recorded and analysed. Results: The mean onset latencies were significantly increased in all the limbs in cases. The amplitude of CMAP and conduction velocity of peripheral nerves were decreased. No significant difference was seen between the parameters of MNCV in both sides. Conclusion: Type 1 diabetes mellitus does affect peripheral neural pathways in children. MNCV is helpful in early detection of sub clinical changes in neural pathways.
