Persistence of neurological damage induced by dietary vitamin B-12 deficiency in infancy
A case is reported of a 14 month old boy with severe dietary vitamin B-12 deficiency caused by his mother’s vegan diet. Cinical, electroencephalography (EEG), and haematological findings are described. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed severe frontal and frontoparietal cranial atrophy. Vitamin B-12 supplements led to a rapid improvement of haematological and neurological symptoms....

The serum B(12) concentration was less than 20 pmol/l and the symptoms resolved after B(12) replacement. We believe that the neurological symptoms were triggered by exposure to nitrous ...
متن کاملVITAMIN B 12 AND THE MACROMOLECULAR COMPOSITION OF EUGLENA II. Recovery from Unbalanced Growth Induced by Vitamin B 12 Deficiency
When vitamin B12 is added to B12-deficient cultures of Euglena gracilis, the cells undergo two relatively synchronous cell divisions within a shorter than usual period of time, apparently as a result of a transitory shortening of the cell cycle . The first cell division pulse, occurring 4 .5 h after addition of B12, is preceded by the completion of DNA duplication, but appears to involve no net...
