摘要：

We report here two infants with vitamin B12 deficiency who presented with delay in motor and mental development. Neuroimaging studies in our cases revealed diffuse severe cerebral atrophy. Follow-up MRI after vitamin B12 treatment showed significant regression of the brain atrophy. Early diagnosis and treatment in infantile vitamin B12 deficiency are important to prevent the irreversible neurological damage.
