title: [Foot and diabetic neuropathy: about 205 cases].
abstract: Diabetic neuropathy is a serious and disabling complication of diabetes mellitus. It occurs in all types and at any moment of the evolution of diabetes. It can be worsened by arteriopathy or an associated cutaneous infection. Our study is about 205 diabetic patients with a peripheral neuropathy. In 27 patients (14% of cases) there are also trophic disorders: callus in zones of support (17 cases), mal perforant (6 cases) and burns (5 cases). Arteritis of the lower limbs was present in 50 % of cases. The authors discuss the physiopathology and management of diabetic neuropathy.
