Vitamin B12 Eksikliğine Bağlı 'Subakut Kombine Dejenerasyon': Bir Olgu Nedeniyle Gözden Geçirme

Vitamin B12 eksikliği; nöropati, myelopati, demans, nöropsikiyatrik bulgular ve optik nöropati ile presente olabilir. Subakut kombine dejenerasyon (SKD) olarak bilinen B12 vitamini eksikliğine bağlı spinal kord tutulumu, nörolojik bozuklukların %10'unu oluşturur. B12 eksikliğinin nöroloji pratiğinde sık görülmesi ve önemi nedeniyle, b12 vitamini eksikliğine bağlı reversibl spinal kord tutulumu olan bir olguyu, klinik ve görüntüleme bulguları ile birlikte ayrıntılı olarak gözden geçirerek sunduk.

'Subacute Combined Degeneration' due to Vitamin B12 Deficiency: A Case Review

Vitamin B12 deficiency may present with neuropathy, myelopathy, dementia, neuropsychiatric disorders and optic neuropathy. Spinal cord involvement due to vitamin B12 deficiency that is known as subacute combined degeneration (SCD), creates 10% of the neurological disorders. Because of the relative frequency and importance of Vitamin B12 deficiency in neurological practice, we presented a detailed review of a case with reversible spinal cord involvement due to vitamin B12 deficiency, with the clinical and imaging features.
