An Address ON ADDISON'S (PERNICIOUS) ANAEMIA AND SUBACUTE COMBINED DEGENERATION OF THE SPINAL CORD

Amino-aciduria accompanying untreated pernicious anaemia and subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord.

Weaver and Neill (1954) reported abnormal excretions of taurine, sometimes accompanied by over-excretion of lysine, cystine, and leucine, in the urine of five patients suffering from pernicious anaemia. In one patient with subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord in whom the blood picture was normal, they found that taurine alone was excreted in abnormal quantities. After treatment wit...

SUBACUTE combined degeneration of the spinal cord.

This paper describes the clinical history of an adult male who was found to be suffering from subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord. It is believed that this is the first report of this condition in Papua New Guinea.

[Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord: MR findings].

The authors present the initial and follow-up MR findings in a patient with subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord, a complication of vitamin B12 deficiency, and a rare cause of demyelination of the dorsal and lateral columns of the spinal cord. Initial study showed high intensity in the dorsal columns of the cervical and thoracic spinal cord on T2-weighted image. Five months after t...

Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord in a vegan.

SUBACUTE combined degeneration of the spinal cord in nutritional vitamin B12 deficiency states, though a rare complication, has been reported several times (Badenoch, 1954; Wokes, 1956; Smith, 1962; Connor & Pirola, 1963; Riley, 1966; Verjaal & Timmermans, 1967), and its association with veganism (vegans are people who exclude all forms of animal products from their diet) has been duly stressed...
