Abstract
We report a case of a 79‐year‐old gentleman presenting with numbness of both hands. A magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine demonstrated features suggestive of subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord which was further supported by a low serum vitamin B12. This is a reversible condition if early diagnosis can be made and vitamin B12 therapy promptly given. Delayed treatment can result in irreversible neurological impairment.
