Özet

Epileptic spasms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency are rare. Epileptic spasms in addition to partial seizures due to vitamin B12 deficien-cy have never been reported in the literature. A 3½-month-old girl presented to clinic with partial seizures and epileptic spasms. An extensive workup for metabolic disorders and a 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain were normal. However, the exclusively breast-fed infant and her mother had low vitamin B12 levels, so both were given intramuscular (IM) vitamin B12 injections. The infant was also treated with oral vigabatrin and IM adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) injections. Patient’s seizures stopped; however, developmental delay and hypotonia remained. Seizures associated with vitamin B12 deficiency in infants are rare, but vitamin B12 level should always be checked as part of routine diagnostic workup.

Abstract

B12 vitamini eksikliğine eşlik eden epileptik spazmlar oldukça nadirdir. Epileptik spazm ve birlikte görülen parsiyel nöbetler literatürde daha önce tanımlanmamıştır. Üç buçuk aylık kız çocuğu hastanemize epileptik spazm ve parsiyel nöbetler ile başvurdu. Hastanın 3 Tesla kraniyal manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ve detaylı metabolik taraması tamamen normal bulundu. Ancak sadece anne sütü ile beslenen hastada ve annesinde B12 vitamini düzeyleri düşük idi. Her ikisinde de B12 vitamini replase edildi, ayrıca hastanın nöbetleri için oral vigabatrin ve İM ACTH kullanıldı. Hastanın nöbetleri durmasına rağmen hipotoni ve nöromotor gelişim geriliği halen devam etmekteydi. B12 vitamini eksikli-ğine eşlik eden nöbetler infantlarda nadir görülmekle birlikte, serum B12 düzeyi mutlaka rutin yapılan testlerin arasında olmalıdır.
