A case of vitamin B12 deficiency with rapid neurological improvement after treatment

Öz:
Vitamin B12 deficiency presents with many different clinical manifestations. Its deficiency may cause hematological, neurological, gastrointestinal,dermatological and cardiac findings. Vitamin B12 deficiency develops easier in infants of vegetarian mothers and infants those not having an access to foodscontaining enough vitamin B12 in the developing countries. In its long-term deficiency, irritability, apathy, loss of appetite and developmental delay mayoccur in the infant. In this report, we present an infant of vitamin B12 deficiency with a history of hypotonicity and growth retardation.

TEDAVİ SONRASI HIZLI NÖROLOJİK DÜZELME GÖRÜLEN VİTAMİN B12 EKSİKLİĞİ OLGUSU

Öz:
B12 vitamini eksikliği birçok farklı klinik belirtiyle ortaya çıkar. Eksikliği hematolojik, nörolojik, gastrointestinal, dermatolojik ve kardiyak bulgulara neden olabilir. B12 vitamini eksikliği, vejeteryan anne bebeklerinde ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde yeterli miktarda B12 vitamini içeren besinlere erişimi olmayan bebeklerde daha kolay gelişir. Uzun süreli eksikliğinde bebeklerde sinirlilik, ilgisizlik, iştahsızlık ve gelişimsel gecikme görülebilir. Bu yazıda süt çocuğunda hipotonisite ve büyüme geriliği ile ortaya çıkan, tedavinin ardından nörolojik bulguları hızla düzelen bir B12 vitamini eksikliği olgusu sunulmuştur.
