Subacute combined degeneration of the cervical and dorsal spinal cord in a 40-year-old male patient: A case report
Subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord is a neurologic complication of vitamin B12 deficiency. It presents as a potentially reversible demyelination of the posterior and lateral columns of the cervical and dorsal spinal cord. We present the case of a 40-year-old male with progressive sens...
