Abstract
A 47-year-old woman presented with paralysis of upward gaze associated with Addison’s pernicious anaemia. Administration of cyanocobalamin resulted in significant improvement of eye movements and haematological parameters. Isolated paralysis of upward gaze may be a feature of vitamin B12 deficiency.Keywords
