Biermer's disease unveiled: Bilateral macular hemorrhage as a rare manifestation-A case report.
The patient, a 30-year-old woman, presented with a sudden, painless, and severe decrease in vision in both eyes. The ophthalmological examination revealed a normal anterior segment and intraocular pressure, but a fundus examination showed bilateral macular hemorrhage. In the absence of a known history, a metabolic and hematological biological assessment was conducted. The assessment revealed megaloblastic anemia with a significantly reduced serum vitamin B12 level. Further examination confirmed Biermer's disease as the cause of her anemia. The patient was started on a regimen of monthly vitamin B12 supplementation, which she will continue for life. This case report highlights the importance of recognizing megaloblastic anemia as a potential cause of spontaneous bilateral retinal hemorrhages. Moreover, it underscores the urgency for healthcare practitioners to promptly investigate and determine the root cause of megaloblastic anemia.
期刊介绍:
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports (indexed in PubMed Central) is a peer reviewed, open access journal. It aims to provide a publication home for short case reports and case series, which often do not find a place in traditional primary research journals, but provide key insights into real medical cases that are essential for physicians, and may ultimately help to improve patient outcomes. SAGE Open Medical Case Reports does not limit content due to page budgets or thematic significance. Papers are subject to rigorous peer review and are selected on the basis of whether the research is sound and deserves publication. By virtue of not restricting papers to a narrow discipline, SAGE Open Medical Case Reports facilitates the discovery of the connections between papers, whether within or between disciplines. Case reports can span the full spectrum of medicine across the health sciences in the broadest sense, including: Allergy/Immunology Anaesthesia/Pain Cardiovascular Critical Care/ Emergency Medicine Dentistry Dermatology Diabetes/Endocrinology Epidemiology/Public Health Gastroenterology/Hepatology Geriatrics/Gerontology Haematology Infectious Diseases Mental Health/Psychiatry Nephrology Neurology Nursing Obstetrics/Gynaecology Oncology Ophthalmology Orthopaedics/Rehabilitation/Occupational Therapy Otolaryngology Palliative Medicine Pathology Pharmacoeconomics/health economics Pharmacoepidemiology/Drug safety Psychopharmacology Radiology Respiratory Medicine Rheumatology/ Clinical Immunology Sports Medicine Surgery Toxicology Urology Women''s Health.
