title: [Clinical and functional symptoms of funicular myelosis and chronic gastritis in patients with B12-deficiency anemia].
abstract: The aim of this work was to study clinical and functional symptoms of funicular myelosis (FM) and chronic gastritis (CG) in patients with B12-deficiency anemia. A total of 77 patients with diagnosis verified by finding megaloblasts in bone marrow biopsies were examined. Clinical symptoms of FM were found in 57% of the patients. The most characteristic subjective ones were paresthesia (83.3%) and limb weakness (60%) while objective symptoms included impaired limb sensitivity (100%). All patients suffered CG with lesions in both antrum and fundus.
