Abstract
Vitamin B12 deficiency has been classically associated with subacute combined degeneration of the cord. It can be readily recognized on magnetic resonance imaging as T2W hyperintensity of the dorsal column. Cerebral changes are being increasingly notified, especially in the elderly population. The authors report the case of a 33-year-old patient and describe the imaging characteristics.
期刊介绍：
Indian Association of Clinical Medicine is an academic body constituted in the year 1992 by a group of clinicians with the main aim of reaffirming the importance of clinical medicine in this era of high-tech diagnostic modalities. There is no doubt that modern investigational methods have contributed a lot to the present day medical practice but that does not render clinical acumen and examination less important. The art and science of clinical medicine helps up to make proper and judicious use of investigations and not these be the sole basis of our practice. That is the basic idea behind this ''Association''. We presently have members and fellows of the association from all over the country. In August, 2002 the body was registered as "Indian Association of Clinical Medicine" by the Registrar of Societies, Delhi.
