Abstract Objectives To evaluate Pacinian corpuscles (PC) in the forefoot of patients with type 2 diabetes-derived sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSP) with MRI. Materials and methods This single-center study compared 20 DSP patients who underwent clinical forefoot 3-T MRI to healthy volunteers matched for age and gender. Two radiologists independently assessed the number and distribution of PC. In addition, one radiologist determined PC size. Correlations between PC number, duration of diabetes, and Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were assessed. Results In DSP patients, the number of PC in the forefoot was significantly reduced compared to healthy volunteers (82.7 ± 46.1 vs. 265.3 ± 49.3, p |
