CONTEXT: Decreased vitamin B12 concentration does not usually result in clinical or hematological abnormalities. Subacute combined spinal cord degeneration and pancytopenia are two serious and rarely displayed consequences that appear in severe deficits. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a patient with subacute combined spinal cord degeneration and pancytopenia secondary to severe and sustained vitamin B12 deficiency. Such cases are rare nowadays and have potentially fatal consequences.CONCLUSIONS: Vitamin B12 deficiency should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis in cases of blood disorders or severe neurological symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment can avoid irreversible consequences.RESUMEN CONTEXTO: El descenso de la concentración de vitamina B12 no suele derivar en alteraciones clínicas o hematológicas. La degeneración combinada subaguda medular y la pancitopenia son dos consecuencias graves y poco frecuentes que aparecen en los déficit severos. CASO CLÍNICO: Presentamos el caso de un paciente con una degeneración combinada subaguda medular y pancitopenia secundarios a un déficit severo y mantenido de vitamina B12. Un caso poco común en nuestros días y con consecuencias potencialmente fatales. CONCLUSIONES: Debemos considerar el déficit de vitamina B12 dentro del diagnóstico diferencial en caso de alteraciones hematológicas o síntomas neurológicos graves. Su diagnóstico y tratamento precoz pueden evitar secuelas irreversibles.
