ABSTRACT
A 32-year-old Caucasian man presented with a 6 month history of gradual visual loss. He lived alone and consumed large quantities of alcohol. In addition, he smoked heavily and had only one meal per day. Examination revealed poor visual acuities bilaterally, with normal looking optic discs and retina. An MRI brain scan was normal. Visual evoked potentials showed small P100 responses. His mean corpuscular volume was elevated as was the gammaglutamyl transpeptidase. The patient was started on high dose vitamin B. His visual acuities are improving. (AU)
