| We thank Dr Grzybowski 1 for the interest he has shown in our article entitled ‘‘Evaluation of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency using spectral domain optical coherence tomography’’. 2 Firstly, Dr Grzybowski argues that low serum vitamin B12 level is not automatically diagnostic for vitamin B12 deficiency in asymptomatic, hematologically normal patients. He states that the clinical picture is crucial for determination of the vitamin B12 deficiency. In addition, he says that the levels of the other biomarkers such as methylmalonic acid or homocysteine could be used for the diagnosis. In our study, we used serum vitamin B12 levels, clinico-electrophysiological evaluation and spinal magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency and related neuropathies. Eight patients had clinical vitamin B12 deficiency. However, the rest of the patients (37 … |
