- A rare case of a 7-year-old child is reported, who experienced pseudotumoral unilateral cerebellitis that mimicked an intracranial tumor.
- The child showed symptoms of increased intracranial pressure and mild weakness on one side of the body, but fully recovered after receiving anti-inflammatory treatment.
- Brain MRI was crucial for distinguishing between inflammatory conditions and tumors, and the study includes a review of existing literature on this unique clinical and radiological condition.
Involuntary movements can appear before and after initiation of vitamin B12 treatment. The pathogenesis of involuntary movements in vitamin B12 deficiency and their relationship with cobalamin injection remain unclear due to a lack of video-EEG documentation making the electroclinical correlation difficult to ascertain. Here, we report video-EEG and neuroimaging findings of an 11-month-old girl with vitamin B12 deficiency, who acutely developed involuntary movements a few days after initiation of vitamin B12 treatment with normal vitamin plasmatic levels.
