Abstract
Muscular infarction is a rare and unknown complication of diabetes mellitus. It is characterised by sudden painful muscular induration and swelling affecting one muscle at a time with recurrence. Our patient presented with simultaneous multiple muscular infarctions in 3 limbs. Diagnosis was based on clinical investigation and MRI. The treatment is conservative and the condition generally resolved by itself. However, the long-term prognosis of muscular infarction is not good because of the cardiovascular-associated complications of diabetes mellitus.
