Abstract

We present the case of a 64-year-old male Type 1 diabetic patient with painful diabetic neuropathy masquerading as intermittent claudication. Examination of the peripheral circulation (both arterial and venous) was normal. An MRI scan excluded lumbar spinal stenosis and nerve root compression as the cause of claudication. The case suggests that, in the absence of other identifiable causes and in the presence of peripheral diabetic neuropathy, "intermittent claudication" may be due to the neuropathy itself.
