Purpose: Multiple cranial neuropathies is one of the neurological complications among diabetic patients. Symptoms of multiple cranial neuropathies may cause great anxiety for these patients and often appear to be a serious problem from a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. A correct and timely diagnosis of the underlying cause of cranial nerve palsy in these patients is crucial because of the realistic threat of devastating neurologic conditions. Case report: Recurrent cranial neuropathies involving different cranial nerves are unusual. In this case report, we present a diabetic patient with four episodes of recurrent cranial neuropathies including two times of facial neuropathies and two episodes of external ophthalmoplegia within 2 years. Conclusion: Diabetic cranial neuropathies may appear in a recurrent pattern; spontaneous remission is the rule. |
