Possibilities of ultrasound elastography of peripheral nerves in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus

https://doi.org/10.24835/1607-0763-1437

Abstract

Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is a complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) that requires special attention in childhood. The search for new methods for assessing peripheral nerves is an urgent task. Shear wave ultrasound elastography offers additional opportunities for assessing peripheral nerve changes in children with type 1 diabetes.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the parameters of ultrasound elastography of peripheral nerves in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Material and methods. The study included data from 213 children aged 7-18 years. Of these, 159 children were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus of varying duration and the control group included 54 children.

Ultrasound examination of the peripheral nerves of the lower extremities was performed in all patients using B-mode, shear wave elastography mode.

Results. The data obtained during the study indicate the possible use of ultrasound elastography for dynamic monitoring of the condition of peripheral nerves in patients with type 1 diabetes in childhood and adolescence. Peripheral nerves in this category of patients are characterized by higher values of stiffness parameters in ultrasound elastography.
