- Abstract
- "Both the inherited and acquired forms of vitamin E deficiency are implicated in chronic progressive neurological
deficit. The clinical features include ataxia and prominent proprioceptive loss with depressed or absent tendon reflexes.
We report a 63-year-old man with vitamin E deficiency syndrome caused by chronic fat malabsorption following exten-sive
intestinal resection. Although replacement therapy prevented further deterioration, symptomatic improvement was
not observed for two years. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is crucial.Key Words : Vitamin E deficiency, Fat malabsorption, Intestinal resection"
