Diabetic Muscle Infarction: A Rare Cause of Acute Limb Pain in Dialysis Patients

Figure 1

T2 weighted images with coronal (a, c) and axial (b, d) views for the 2 patients. The level of the axial views are indicated on the coronal images by the dashed lines. Images (a) and (b) show diffuse edema in the calf muscles of the left lower limb of the first patient, as illustrated by the hyperintense signal of the muscular tissue (note the normal low signal intensity of the muscles in the right leg). Images (c) and (d) show similar changes in the adductor muscles of the left upper leg of the second patient.
