Abstract We describe a case of a 53‐year‐old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus in whom cervical‐radiculoplexus neuropathy developed, with concomitant cranial and phrenic nerve involvement, occurring as a stepwise, monophasic course. The patient had a presumed remote history of idiopathic cervical‐radiculoplexus neuropathy.
