Recurrent seizures: an unusual manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency. Neurology India, 2004, Volume: 52, Issue:1 The present report highlights an unusual presentation of vitamin B12 deficiency--recurrent seizures in a 26-year-old man. His symptoms responded to parenteral vitamin B12 therapy. The relevant literature is reviewed. Topics: Adult; Epilepsy, Complex Partial; Humans; Injections, Intramuscular; Male; Psychotic Disorders; Recurrence; Vitamin B 12; Vitamin B 12 Deficiency	2004
De novo epileptic confusional status in a patient with cobalamin deficiency. Metabolic brain disease, 1995, Volume: 10, Issue:3 A 80-year-old man with cobalamin deficiency and no history of epilepsy developed a partial complex epileptic confusional status (ECS) unresponsive to acute i.v. diazepam. Brain CT scan and MRI investigation ruled out a focal cerebral lesion. Therapy with high doses (10,000 micrograms i.m. daily) of cobalamin alone was started, and the patient fully recovered in the following 72-hour. Control EEGs repeatedly performed days and weeks later showed progressive disappearance of the frontal interictal spiking, while the patient was on monotherapy with cobalamin (5,000 micrograms i.m. weekly). A month later the patient unfortunately discontinued replacement therapy and 13 weeks later he developed a fatal convulsive epileptic status. To our knowledge the association of ECS and cobalamin deficiency has not been previously reported. Topics: Aged; Aged, 80 and over; Confusion; Electroencephalography; Epilepsy, Complex Partial; Fatal Outcome; Humans; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Male; Status Epilepticus; Tomography, X-Ray Computed; Vitamin B 12; Vitamin B 12 Deficiency	1995
