| Abstract;We discuss two cases of diabetic peroneal mononeuropathy caused by leg crossing during computer work. The first patient was a 43-year-old man admitted to our hospital because of difficulty in walking after prolonged leg crossing while doing computer work. He had a 10-year history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and was diagnosed with acute deep peroneal nerve palsy in the left leg and subacute deep peroneal nerve palsy in the right leg. The second patient was a 33-year-old man who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus several months before. Acute deep peroneal nerve palsy in the right leg occurred after his legs had been crossed for 3 hours while performing computer work. We retrospectively reviewed 27 cases with diabetic peroneal mononeuropathy in the Japanese literature over a 20-year period. Most episodes of peroneal nerve palsy in diabetic patients tended to develop in slender middle-aged men with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Prevention of peroneal nerve palsy in diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy should be accompanied by appropriate information including advice to avoid prolonged bending of the legs.
