    Woman misdiagnosed with dementia due to vitamin deficiency

    @polly_springA new case report in BMJ Case Reports details how a 61-year-old woman who was initially diagnosed with dementia after a five-year decline in mental health and behavior actually had a vitamin deficiency. She experienced severe confusion, hallucinations, seizures, and dramatic personality changes. After the deficiency was discovered and treated, she made a full recovery. The case highlights the importance of checking for reversible causes of cognitive decline.

    About this photo

    An elderly woman lies in a hospital bed with her face blurred, wearing a light blue gown under white sheets. A large surgical lamp hangs above her and a monitor beside the bed displays a detailed brain MRI scan. The scene is set in a clinical hospital room with medical equipment visible. Large white text with a blue outline at the bottom reads: "Woman diagnosed with dementia makes full recovery after a simple vitamin deficiency is discovered".
