**2.5 Diabetic amyotrophy**

Lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (LRPN) originally described in diabetic patients as diabetic amyotrophy is a distinct clinical condition characterized by debilitating pain, weakness and atrophy most commonly affecting the proximal thigh muscles asymmetrically. The syndrome is usually monophasic and preceded by significant weight loss (at least more than 10 lbs). Though a self-limited condition, recovery is gradual with some residual weakness (Bhanushai & Muley, 2008).
