To evaluate brain changes on DTI and ASL in patient with
vitamin B12 deficiency while on therapy, 16
patients(baseline and after 2-months therapy) and 16
age-and-sex matched controls were enrolled. Voxel-wise
analysis and TBSS analysis were performed for comparing
pre-and post-therapy changes in CBF and FA values
respectively. Significant increase in CBF in GM and
significant decrease in WM after therapy was observed
however pre-and post-therapy FA changes were not
significant. Alteration in the CBF values following
treatment with no significant changes in the FA values
suggest that CBF change may be an early predictor of
recovery than FA.
