Oculomotor Disorders in Patients with Diabetes - Neurology & Neuroscience

The article focuses on oculomotor disorders in diabetic patients. Quite  often  diabetic  patients  have  oculomotor  neuropathies, both as mononeuropathy and multiple cranial neuropathies. 25% of all cases of paralysis of the eye muscles are due to diabetic neuropathy. The frequency of lesions of a group of oculomotor nerves in diabetes exceeds  similar  violations  in  patients  without  diabetes.  Recently,  due  to  several  reasons  the  interest  of  neurologists  to  diabetes  mellitus  (DM)  has  greatly  increased. The  number  of  patients  with  damage  to  both  central  and  peripheral  nervous  system  caused  by DM has also increased, which is associated with the rapid increase in the incidence of diabetes in the world and its transformation into a global epidemic. Diabetic patients have oculomotor neuropathies quite  frequently, both as mononeuropathy and multiple cranial  neuropathies. 25%  of  all  cases of paralysis of  the eye muscles  are  due to diabetic neuropathy [1].
