Core Tip	Diabetic neuropathy syndromes include both generalized and focal/multifocal forms. Entrap-ment neuropathies (EN) are remarkably frequent in the focal forms and may be the earliest neuro-phy-sio-lo-gical abnormalities in diabetes, even in the absence of a generalized polyneuropathy. Based on a pathophysiological hypothesis, diabetic patients’ peripheral nerves, damaged by the altered glucose metabolism, show both functional impairment and stru-ctural changes. This makes them more susceptible to chronic compression in anatomically constrained channels. Therefore, EN may be considered a neuro-physiological hallmark of peripheral nerve involvement in diabetes mellitus.
