The Charcot foot is a destructive disease seen in patients with peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes mellitus. I present a case where a man aged 52 years contracted bilateral Charcot foot with total destruction of the mid feet one and a half years after initial symptoms. The case illustrates how rapidly the destruction occurs and the importance of early diagnosis.
