Metabolic neuropathy.
In this article a review and summary of peripheral neuropathies secondary to metabolic disorders, affecting the lower extremity, have been presented. The clinical presentation of individual symptomatology is variable depending on the nature and chronicity of illness. The clinical features that the podiatric physician must recognize is weakness, sensory, and gait disturbances resulting from these syndromes. Some disorders are reversible if recognized and treated early in their course. Thus, a thorough general history and physical examination is required of all patients presenting with apparent podiatric symptomatology.
