| Abstract |
Vitamin B12 deficiency due to malnutrition or malabsorption may lead to pernicious anemia and neurological disorders. Although randomized prospective studies have shown that pernicious anemia can be safely treated with oral vitamin B12 even in the absence of intrinsic factor, it is still common practice to treat patients with neurological symptoms with intramuscular cyancobalamin injections. We report the successful oral treatment of subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord in a 24-year-old woman closely monitored clinically with MRI and plasma levels of vitamin B12, homocysteine, and methylmalonic acid. We suggest monitored oral substitution therapy as first-line therapy for neurological disorders related to vitamin B12 deficiency. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 December 2014.
All research outputs
#19,201,293
of 23,794,258 outputs
Outputs from Der Nervenarzt
#666
of 905 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,763
of 68,897 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Der Nervenarzt
#7
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,794,258 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 905 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 68,897 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
