| description | Vitamin B12 deficiency causes pancytopenia and also is also assocciated with platelet dysfunction. We report the case
of a 17-year-old girl, who presented with fatigue and sudden painless, non-progressive loss of vision in the left eye. An
ophthalmologic evaluation revealed bilateral subhyaloid haemorrhage, with macular involvement on the left eye. Earlier
Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy were suggestive of partially treated vitamin B12 deficiency with pancytopenia. The
patient had received four doses of vitamin B12 injections. She was given a complete course of vitamin B12 injections.
Both the pancytopenia and subhyaloid haemorrhage improved completely with restoration of normal vision. This case
documents the rare occurrence of subhyaloid haemorrhage in vitamin B12 deficiency. |
