Abstract

The neurologic manifestations of vitamin B12 deficien- cy are the results of its effects on the brain, peripheral nerves, and spinal cord. Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord is a complication of vitamin B12 defi- ciency, which is reversible if diagnosed and treated early. A 31-year-old male patient presented with complaints of growing numbness and weakness in his hands and legs. The patient’s laboratory tests were consistent megaloblas-tic anemia. Vitamin B12 level was found to be 66 pg/ml. Electromyography examination was consistent with senso- ry polyneuropathy. Cervical and dorsal spinal cord lesions were compatible with subacute combined degeneration. We reported this case to present neuroanemic syndrome caused by vitamin B12 deficiency.

Özet

Vitamin B12 eksikliğinde; beyin, optik, periferal sinirler ve spinal kordun etkilenmesine bağlı olarak nörolojik tablolar görülebilir. Subakut kombine dejenerasyon erken dönemde tanı konulup tedavi edildiğinde geri dönüşlü olabilen, vitamin B12 eksikliğine bağlı spinal kordun etkilendiği bir komplikasyondur. Otuz bir yaşında erkek hasta, ellerinde, bacaklarında uyuşukluk ve güçsüzlük yakınması ilebaşvurdu. Hastanın laboratuvar tetkiklerinde megaloblastik anemisi vardı. Vitamin B12 düzeyi 66 pg/dl olarak bulundu. Elektromiyografide duyusal polinöropati mevcuttu.Servikal ve dorsal spinal manyetik rezonans görüntüleme lerinde subakut kombine dejenerasyon ile uyumlu lezyonlar görüldü. Bu yazıda, vitamin B12 eksikliğinin neden olduğu nöroanemik sendromlu olgu sunuldu.
