Özet
It is known that diabetic neuropathy is the result of endoneurial edema caused by various biochemical reactions triggered by hyperglycemia. This sequence of events can cause cessation of circulation at the perineurial level, or the tough layer, which is not resilient enough to spread intraneural pressure. Internal and external limiting structures create a double crush phenomenon to the nerve structure. Decompression of the nerve trunk at separate levels is one of the adjuncts to the overall treatment plan for diabetic neuropathy.
