Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 58-year old male patient, with a history of gastrectomy, came to our department for recently aggravated glossodynia. A delicate physical examination revealed gait ataxia and a positive Rhomberg test. He was diagnosed as having vitamin B12 deficiency using a combination of the laboratory results, such as macrocytic anemia. It was thought that the tongue pain might have been a main clinical manifestation of vitamin B12 deficiency.
