Abstract
Vitamin B12 deficiency and associated megaloblastic anemia is generally a problem involving children, pregnant women and the elderly in developing countries. Vitamin B12 deficiency in early childhood is frequently seen in babies born to mothers with vegetarian diets and vitamin B12 deficiency. In addition to neurological symptoms such as hypotonia, tremor and convulsion, findings such as abnormal pigmentation, sparse and dull hair, lack of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, glossitis, oral moniliasis, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, rejection of solid foods and growth retardation may be observed. If infantile B12 deficiency is diagnosed and treated early, neurological symptoms resolve in as little as 3-6 months, while in cases diagnosed late neurological findings take at least 6 months to improve, and the process may sometimes take years. We describe a patient referred to our hospital due to pancytopenia and neuromotor retardation and diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency.
