Nerve conduction studies and sural nerve biopsy were performed on 3 patients with vitamin B12 deficiency and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. The pathological findings were those of axonal degeneration; there was no evidence of demyelination. The patients were reviewed at intervals of 5-15 yr commencement of treatment; progression of the neuropathy was arrested by treatment, but in all cases residual neurological abnormalities persisted. In 1 patient with autonomic neuropathy, the postural hypotension resolved rapidly and fully with treatment.
