Abstract
A patient with undiagnosed pernicious anemia presented with progressively severe neurologic manifestations of 6-months' duration. The neurologic symptoms had worsened abruptly after prolonged exposure to heat; this is a previously unreported event in cases of subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord. Previous failure to recognize macrocytosis, which may appear well before the decrease in hemoglobin concentration, as an early sign of pernicious anemia resulted in delay of diagnosis and irreversible neurologic damage.
