Vitamin B12 deficiency in infancy as a cause of developmental regression.

Erasmo Barbante Casella1, Marcelo Valente, Jessie Medeiros de Navarro, Fernando Kok.   

Abstract

Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause serious developmental regression, hypotonia and cerebral atrophy in infants. We report a 6-month-old infant, with insidious developmental regression and brain atrophy showed by CT scan, secondarily to vitamin B12 deficiency. His mother was a strict vegetarian and the patient was exclusively breastfed. The clinical symptoms and the brain CT were normalized after vitamin B12 administration.
