RESUMEN

La neuralgia amiotrófica del diabético o síndrome de Bruns Garland es una forma poco frecuente de presentación de la neuropatía diabética, por lo que consideramos de interés el reporte de un caso de una paciente de 62 años de edad, con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 de siete años de evolución, que presenta un cuadro clínico y neurofisiológico típico de esta entidad. Desde el punto de vista fisiopatológico, se sospecha que este cuadro tiene un origen inmuno-mediado, en el caso que nos ocupa se presenta en coexistencia con una artritis reumatoide, enfermedad de origen autoinmunitario definido.
