RESUMO
Diabetic myonecrosis or muscle infarction (DMI), a clinicoradiological entity is an underdiagnosed complication of diabetes mellitus. It refers to spontaneous aseptic necrosis of skeletal muscles commonly of the lower limb without evidence of any large vessel disease. It presents as painful swollen limb without any external insult in patients with long-standing diabetes mellitus with other microvascular complications especially nephropathy. We present four instances of DMI in our patients who had end-stage renal disease with a varied course.
