Article Synopsis
- - Peripheral neuropathy is a common issue for diabetes patients, but acute-onset cases following diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are rare; this case featured a young male who developed bilateral foot drop after DKA, highlighting the severity of this complication.
- - The patient, a 21-year-old student, experienced impaired consciousness due to DKA, and after recovery noticed foot drop and sensory issues, leading to a diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy confirmed by nerve studies, with modest initial improvement during hospitalization.
- - Through early use of ankle-foot orthoses and ongoing support, the patient saw significant muscle strength recovery over two years, eventually resulting in successful rehabilitation and employment in clerical work.
