- Abstract
A 90-year-old woman with orthostatic hypotension and near-syncope was found to have a low-normal level of vitamin B12 and no other medical findings that could explain her orthostasis. Her symptoms responded to vitamin B12 replacement therapy. This case shows that vitamin B12 deficiency can induce orthostatic hypotension and syncope that are correctable by vitamin B12 replacement.
