Vitamin C deficiency as an unusual cause of pulmonary hypertension and refusal to walk
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 December 2020
Abstract
Vitamin C deficiency has been a historical disease rarely seen nowadays. We illustrate a case of a boy with autism presenting with severe pulmonary hypertension and refusal to walk secondary to vitamin C deficiency. Initiating treatment with high-dose vitamin C reversed his symptoms and he regained full power of his lower limbs with total normalisation of his pulmonary pressures.
