title: [Neurologic manifestations of diabetes mellitus: an overview].
abstract: Neurological manifestations of diabetes mellitus comprise structural changes in both central and peripheral nervous system, as well as functional cerebral disturbances. Macro- and microangiopathy are responsible for the development of cerebrovascular diseases; microangiopathic and metabolic disturbances are considered in the discussion to be responsible for the development of the various forms of diabetic polyneuropathy. Acute metabolic episodes with progressive impairment of consciousness have to be differentiated from structural neurological disorders. As a further point of interest the association between diabetes mellitus and special neurological diseases is mentioned.
