Key Words Subacute combined degeneration; Vitamin B12 deficiency; Total gastrectomy; Gastric cancer
Core Tip Subacute combined degeneration (SCD) of the spinal cord is defined as the degeneration of the posterior and lateral columns of the spinal cord due to vitamin B12 deficiency. Because vitamin B12 deficiency can occur after total gastrectomy, so can SCD. Postoperative assessments have focused on the recurrence of gastric cancer after surgery, with fewer studies focusing on vitamin B12 deficiency, especially because SCD is a long-term complication. This report describes a patient who developed SCD after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. SCD due to vitamin B12 deficiency should be suspected in patients showing gait disturbance after gastrectomy, even as a long-term complication.
