A 22-year old woman with a low-normal Vitamin B12 level, mildly-elevated methylmalonic acid (MMA) level, and a normal homocysteine (HCys) level, presented with slowly progressive, painless visual loss over three years. OCT scans showed severe, bilateral, temporal thinning, and Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs) indicated prolonged bilateral latencies. |
